The Gull Guide
The definitive photographic guide to North American gulls Gull identification can be challenging for even the most seasoned birder. While these birds are common to coasts, lakes, and rivers, they exhibit remarkable plumage changes related to age, which is sometimes complicated by similarities between species and a readiness to hybridize. This book provides an invaluable identification guide to all regularly occurring gull species and subspecies throughout North America. It is packed with the very latest research on field identification, updated taxonomy, current distribution trends, color maps, and helpful notes on natural history, aging, and molt. The Gull Guide integrates the essential ele...
Arctic and Alpine Mycology II
During the summer of 1980, the First International symposium on Arctic and Alpine Mycology (ISAM-I) was held at the then extant Naval Arctic Research Laboratory near Barrow, Alaska, U.S.A., well within the Arctic Circle (Laursen and Ammirati, Arctic and Alpine Mycology. The First International symposium on Arcto-Alpine Mycology. Univ. Wash. Press, 1982). The facility is currently owned and operated by the Utkeagvik Inupiat community and is named the National Academic and Research Laboratory, thus retaining its acronym NARL. Twenty-five scientists participated in that historic first meeting. Their interests in the fungi spanned a vast geographic area of cold dominated habitats in both the nor...

Miljo og rastoffer i Gronland
Gronland er rigt pa naturlige ressourcer. Land og hav er levested for unikke dyre- og plantearter, og i undergrunden findes mangerastoffer. Pa sigt kan rastofferne give det gronlandske samfund vAesentlige indtAegter. Men efterforskning og udvinding af rastoffer pavirker natur og miljo og kan skade landets nuvAerende erhverv. Gronland er stAerkt afhAengig af dets levende ressourcer i form af fiskeri og fangst, ligesom turisme vokser som indtAegtskilde, og det er derfor vigtigt for de gronlandske myndigheder at sikre en uforstyrret natur og et rent miljo. Miljo og rastoffer i Gronland giver et indblik i de miljoproblemer, som rastofaktiviteter i Gronland kan give anledning til. Den viser samtidig, hvor vigtigt det er for myndigheder og radgivere at have et indgaende kendskab til Gronlands miljo og natur for at kunne miljoregulereoptimalt. Og den viser, hvordan krav til selskaberne om at arbejde efter de hojeste tekniske standarder og internationale konventionersikrer, at pavirkningen af miljoet bliver sa lille som muligt.
Nordic Seabird Colony Databases
Internationally important seabird resources are found in the Nordic countries (Greenland, Faeroes, Iceland, Jan Mayen, and Svalbard). To fulfill a recommendation of the Arctic Nordic Action Plan 1999, a project was carried out to harmonize databases for seabird colonies. Number of seabird species in these countries is 30, the number of colony sites may be 10,000, often more than one species at same site, and the total breeding pairs is estimated c. 50 million. A harmonized database format for seabird colonies was established, with 3 main tables, colony descriptions, colony survey data, study plot information. Linked are tables with references, observers, and photo documentation. The program ...
Responsibilities and Liabilities for Commercial Activity in the Arctic
Given the magnitude of the risks associated with commercial activities in the Arctic arising as a result of the milder climate, new business opportunities raise important questions of responsibility and liability. This book analyses the issues of responsibility and liability connected with the exploitation of natural resources, marine transport and other activities in the Arctic. Applying a combined private and public law perspective on these issues, it considers both the business and societal interests related to Arctic development using Greenland as an example. The book focuses on problems that are specific to Greenland and wider issues that affect all Arctic states.
