Arctic shipping routes are the maritime paths used by vessels to navigate through parts or the entirety of the Arctic. There are three main routes that connect the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans: the Northeast Passage, the Northwest Passage, and the mostly unused Transpolar Sea Route. In addition, two other significant routes exist: the Northern Sea Route, and the Arctic Bridge. To connect the Atlantic with the Pacific, the Northwest Passage goes along the Northern Canadian and Alaskan coasts, the Northeast Passage (NEP) follows the Russian and Norwegian coasts, and the Transpolar Sea Route crosses the Arctic through the North Pole. The Arctic Bridge is an internal Arctic route linking Rus…

The Canadian Arctic tundra is a biogeographic designation for Northern Canada's terrain generally lying north of the tree line or boreal forest, that corresponds with the Scandinavian Alpine tundra to the east and the Siberian Arctic tundra to the west inside the circumpolar tundra belt of the Northern Hemisphere. Canada's northern territories encompass a total area of 2,600,000 km2 (1,000,000 sq mi), 26% of the country's landmass that includes the Arctic coastal tundra, the Arctic Lowlands and the Innuitian Region in the High Arctic. Tundra terrain accounts for approximately 1,420,000 km2 (550,000 sq mi) in Yukon, the Northwest Territories, in Nunavut, north-eastern Manitoba, northern Onta…

Conservation Units for Anadromous Arctic Char (<i>Salvelinus alpinus</i>) in the Canadian Arctic Informed by Genetic Structure, Population Connectivity and Adaptive Genomic Variation.. Intraspecific genetic diversity is a crucial aspect of biodiversity conservation as it preserves evolutionary potential and enhances resilience to environmental change. Genomic-informed delineation of Conservation Units (CUs) offers ways of subdividing species into groups based on demographic independence and adaptive differentiation, to develop biologically relevant conservation and management policies. CUs have been defined in many species of harvested anadromous salmonids, but broad-scale data…

Using colored dissolved organic matter fluorescence to trace Pacific-derived water in the Eastern Canadian Arctic.. Low-salinity Pacific Water (PW) entering the Arctic Ocean through the Bering Strait is the second largest source of freshwater to the Arctic Ocean and dominates the freshwater inventory of Baffin Bay due to PW advection through Nares Strait and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). PW carries nutrients vital for Arctic primary production and the marine ecosystem. Yet, the relative contribution of these pathways to PW advection remains unclear. Here, we focus on PW transport through the northernmost oceanographic passageway of the CAA, Nansen and Eureka Sounds, where observati…

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five oceanic divisions. It spans an area of approximately 14,060,000 km2 (5,430,000 sq mi) and is the coldest of the world's oceans. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or North Polar Sea. It has also been described as being approximately equivalent to an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also seen as the northernmost part of the all-encompassing world ocean. The Arctic Ocean includes the North Pole region in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere and extends south to about 60°N. The Arctic Ocean is surrounded by Eurasia…

Modeling Ringed and Bearded Seal Future Habitats Indicates Stability, Shifts, and Refugia.. Understanding how marine habitats are changing with a warming Arctic is essential for conservation, management, and adaptation strategies bearing tangible consequences for Arctic communities and ecosystems. Ringed seals and bearded seals rely on specific ice and snow conditions to support critical life history events affecting survival and reproduction. Here, we develop a panarctic habitat suitability model linking life events and environmental conditions. With Earth System Models, we simulate habitat over 1850-2100, revealing a relatively stable past habitat contrasting with rapid regional shifts in…

The Arctic Archipelago, also known as the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, is an archipelago lying to the north of the Canadian continental mainland, excluding Greenland (an autonomous territory of the Danish Realm, which is, by itself, much larger than the combined area of the archipelago), and Iceland (an independent country). Situated in the northern extremity of North America and covering about 1,424,500 km2 (550,000 sq mi), this group of 36,563 islands, surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, comprises much of Northern Canada, predominantly Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. The archipelago is showing some effects of climate change, with some computer estimates determining that melting there w…
