Описание: Once thought of as a pristine environment it is now all too apparent that the Arctic is a sink for pollutants transported northwards over long distances in the atmosphere and oceans and is also likely to be subject to major climate change as a result of global warming.

Описание: Climate change vulnerability assessment is a rapidly developing field. However, despite the fact that such major trends as globalization and the changing characteristics of the political and economic governance systems are crucial in shaping a community?s capacity to adapt to climate change, these trends are seldom included in assessments. This book addresses this shortcoming by developing a framework for qualitative vulnerability assessment in ?multiple impact? studies (of climate change and globalization) and applying this framework to several cases of renewable natural resource use. The book draws upon case studies of forestry and fishing - two of the largest sectors that rely on renewable natural resources - and reindeer herding in the European North. The study represents a bottom-up view, originating with the stakeholders themselves, of the degree to which stakeholders find adaptation to climate change possible and how they evaluate it in relation to their other concerns, notably economic and political ones. Moreover, the approach and research results include features that could be broadly generalized to other geographic areas or sectors characterized by renewable natural resource use.

Описание: This account of a German Arctic expedition was published in 1873-4 by its commander, and in this English translation in 1874. The Germania and the Hansa embarked for Greenland in 1869. They became separated, and the book describes subsequent events, and the remarkable survival of one of the crews.
Описание: Focuses on how global warming has caused an environmental disaster in the Arctic, namely its melting. This book offers insights on the issues that have grave implications for energy security and geopolitics in the arctic.

Описание: Published in 1884 and illustrated with over 100 of his own drawings and maps, this two-volume work by the doctor and naturalist Robert McCormick (1800–90) provides an account of his voyages in the Arctic with William Parry and in the Antarctic with James Clark Ross, noting also his part in the search for Sir John Franklin. Incorporating a very detailed autobiography, McCormick's work also provides many details relating to natural history and geology. Volume 1 is mainly devoted to his Antarctic voyage (1839–43), during which he also visited St Helena, the Kerguelen Islands, Australia, New Zealand, the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego. The volume ends with the abortive attempt in 1827 to reach the North Pole via Spitsbergen. Volume 2 describes his role in the 1852–4 mission to find Franklin in the Arctic, including an open boat voyage up the Wellington Channel. This is followed by McCormick's autobiography, tracing his struggles to gain promotion in his naval career.
Описание: George Back (1796-1878) initially volunteered to search for John Ross in the Canadian Arctic, but later explored the unknown Great Fish River down to the Arctic Ocean and west along the Arctic coast, travelling some 7,500 miles. This 1836 account is enhanced by engravings and appendices of scientific data.
Описание: American explorer Charles Francis Hall (1821-71) made two voyages to the Arctic to determine the fate of the Sir John Franklin`s missing expedition. Edited after his death and published in 1879, this account of his second attempt, from 1864 to 1869, confirms that the rumours of survivors were unfounded.
