The changing Arctic: A greener, warmer and increasingly accessible
This is a pristine environment, rich with natural resources but one that is remote from emergency services and responders needed during life-threatening emergencies and disasters. By way of Alaska, the United States is itself an Arctic nation. As such, NOAA has made Arctic science and research a top priority.

Impacts of Oil Spills on Arctic Marine Ecosystems: A Quantitative and
Oil spills resulting from maritime accidents pose a poorly understood risk to the Arctic environment. We propose a novel probabilistic method to quantitatively assess these risks. Our method accounts for spatiotemporally varying population distributions, the spreading of oil, and seasonally varying species-specific exposure potential and sensitivity to oil. It quantifies risk with explicit ...
