Circum-Arctic Structural Events
"To recognize the 25th anniversary of the Circum-Arctic Structural Events program, an effort organized by the Bundesanstalt fèur Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe, this volume presents results from 18 major field expeditions involving 100+ geoscientists from a spectrum of disciplines. The volume focuses on the Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the circum-Arctic region with correlations to adjacent orogens"--
The Natural and Societal Challenges of the Northern Sea Route
Yohei Sasakawa The Northern Sea Route is the shortest shipping route connecting the Far East and Europe. However, the route has been practically inaccessible to commercial vessels, due to the harsh natural conditions in the area, which make navigation possible for only a small part of the year, and then only with an icebreaker leading the way. Opening the Northern Sea Route would greatly facilitate international shipping, making two routes - a northbound one through the NSR, and a southbound one through Suez- available throughout all seasons. The Northern Sea Route would also help to boost economic development, including the exploitation of natural resources in Russian regions along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Thanks to international cooperation, we have been able to set up and successfully conclude a special project to investigate the possibilities of developing the Northern Sea Route as a commercial route, while protecting the environment, wildlife and peoples of the Arctic Ocean region. This represents a highly significant step in terms of future global development.
Cybersecurity and Resilience in the Arctic
Until recently, the Arctic was almost impossible for anyone other than indigenous peoples and explorers to traverse. Pervasive Arctic sea ice and harsh climatological conditions meant that the region was deemed incapable of supporting industrial activity or a Western lifestyle. In the last decade, however, that longstanding reality has been dramatically and permanently altered. Receding sea ice, coupled with growing geopolitical disputes over Arctic resources, territory, and transportation channels, has stimulated efforts to exploit newly-open waterways, to identify and extract desirable resources, and to leverage industrial, commercial, and transportation opportunities emerging throughout t...
International Law and the Arctic
Climate change and rising oil prices have thrust the Arctic to the top of the foreign policy agenda and raised difficult issues of sovereignty, security and environmental protection. Improved access for shipping and resource development is leading to new international rules on safety, pollution prevention and emergency response. Around the Arctic, maritime boundary disputes are being negotiated and resolved, and new international institutions, such as the Arctic Council, are mediating deep-rooted tensions between Russia and NATO and between nation states and indigenous peoples. International Law and the Arctic explains these developments and reveals a strong trend towards international cooperation and law-making. It thus contradicts the widespread misconception that the Arctic is an unregulated zone of potential conflict.

Encyclopedia of the Arctic
With detailed essays on the Arctic's environment, wildlife, climate, history, exploration, resources, economics, politics, indigenous cultures and languages, conservation initiatives and more, this Encyclopedia is the only major work and comprehensive reference on this vast, complex, changing, and increasingly important part of the globe. Including 305 maps. This Encyclopedia is not only an interdisciplinary work of reference for all those involved in teaching or researching Arctic issues, but a fascinating and comprehensive resource for residents of the Arctic, and all those concerned with global environmental issues, sustainability, science, and human interactions with the environment.
Das geopolitische Schicksal Armeniens
Die Vertreibung der armenischen Bevölkerung von Bergkarabach im Herbst 2023 sorgte nur kurzzeitig für internationale Schlagzeilen. In den deutschsprachigen Massenmedien wurden die historischen, politischen und völkerrechtlichen Hintergründe kaum berücksichtigt. Man beschränkte sich weitgehend auf die mantraartig wiederholte Phrase, Bergkarabach gehöre völkerrechtlich zu Aserbaidschan, sei aber überwiegend von Armeniern bewohnt. Es wurde der Eindruck erweckt, Aserbaidschan hole sich nur sein widerrechtlich besetztes Territorium zurück. Das kriegerische Vorgehen wurde zwar zunehmend gerügt, aber aus wirtschaftlichen Interessen nicht mit Sanktionen verbunden. Der Karabachkonflikt beg...
The Book of Unconformities
From the author of lnsectopedia, a powerful exploration of loss, grief, endurance, and the absences that permeate the present. Unconformities are gaps in the geological record, physical evidence of breaks in time. For Hugh Raffles, these holes in history are also fissures in feeling, knowledge, memory, and understanding. In this endlessly inventive, riveting book, Raffles enters these gaps, drawing together threads of geology, history, literature, philosophy, and ethnography to trace the intimate connections between personal loss and world historical events, and to reveal the force of absence at the core of contemporary life. Through deeply researched explorations of Neolithic stone circles,...

Zu allen Zeiten seit ihrer Entdeckung - ob es nun die Wikinger waren, oder Willem Barentsz mit seiner Crew - zu allen Zeiten hat man etwas Magisches, Geheimnisvolles mit dem Namen dieser Inselgruppe in der europäischen Arktis verbunden. Heute ist Svalbard bekannt, besucht und erforscht - jedenfalls im Ver...
