Over a decade (2003-2015) of satellite data of sea-ice extent, sea surface temperature (SST), and methane 11 (CH4) concentrations in lower troposphere over 10 focus areas within the Barents and Kara Seas (BKS) were 12 analyzed for anomalies and trends relative to the Barents Sea. Large positive CH4 anomalies were discovered around 13 Franz Josef Land (FJL) and offshore west Novaya Zemlya in early fall. Far smaller CH4 enhancement was found 14 around Svalbard, downstream and north of known seabed seepage. SST increased in all focus areas at rates from 15 0.0018 to 0.15 °C yr-1, CH4 growth spanned 3.06 to 3.49 ppb yr-1. 16 The strongest SST increase was observed each year in the southeast Barents Sea in June due to strengthening of 17 the warm Murman Current (MC), and in the south Kara Sea in September. The southeast Barents Sea, the south 18 Kara Sea and coastal areas around FJL exhibited the strongest CH4 growth over the observation period.

Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is a wide geographical region, which includes forests, forest tundra, tundra, polar and mountain areas. Numerous lakes and branched rivers of the district form various riverside areas with peculiar flora and fauna. One of these areas is the historic Lukomorye, where the district preserves were established for the purpose of conservation and recovery of flora and fauna resources and protection of rare and endangered species of animals, plants and their gene pool. Lukomorye is interesting not only in terms of the landscape and natural features, it is also the historical and cultural heritage, which includes abandoned objects of human activity of different times. Natural and historical potential of the poorly explored areas of Lukomorye requires complex disclosure and provision of information about the area.

  • Geology: Control on Sediment and Organic Carbon Delivery to the Arctic Ocean Revealed with Space-Borne Synthetic Aperture Radar;
    Control on sediment and organic carbon delivery to the Arctic Ocean revealed with space-borne synthetic aperture radar: Ob’ River, Siberia Laurence C. Smith Department of Geog raphy, University of California, Los Ang eles, Box 951524, Bunche Hall, Los Ang eles, California 90095-1524 Douglas E. Alsdorf Department of Geolog ical Sciences, Cornell University, Snee Hall, Ithaca, New York 14853-1504 ABSTRACT An important control on river biogeochemistry and sediment load is the process of water ex- change between primary channels and the flood plain, particularly in low-relief areas containing lakes, ephemeral channels, and other aquatic ecosystems. Flood-plain exchange may be a domi- nant process on the lowland rivers of Arctic Russia, which are among the world’s largest in water discharge yet are strikingly deficient in their delivery of sediment to the Arctic shelf. Temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude and interferometric images of the Ob’ River, Siberia, reveal a time-varying limnological network controlling water, sediment, and nutrient exchange between flood-plain wetlands and the main channel. The amount of hydrologic exchange decreases by one order of magnitude from June to September, enhancing sedimentation over as much as 90% of the flood plain and enriching channel waters with colloidal organic carbon. This observation, combined with Russian field measurements of water discharge and sediment load, indicates that a major sediment sink on the lower Ob’ flood plain may be responsible for the low amount of sediment delivery

  • Sources of Natural Gas Within Permafrost North-West Siberia
    SOURCES OF NATURAL GAS WITHIN PERMAFROST NORTH-WEST SIBERIA Viktor A. Skorobogatov 1, Vladimir S. Yakushev2, Evgeny M. Chuvilin3 1. 2.

Moscow State University - 119899, Moscow, Vorobievy Gory, MGU, Geological Faculty, Department of Geocryology. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Various aspects of sudden natural gas blowouts from within the permafrost sections of deep (greater than 300 m) wells at Yamburg and Bovanenkovo gas fields (northwest Siberia) are presented. Topics covered include: gas geochemistry, blowout intensity (gas flow rate), depth interval and permafrost rock peculiarities in places of these gas releases. The results are compared with similar studies in other polar regions. Although microbial gas is widespread within permafrost, thermogenic gas can also occasionally migrate from deep gas reservoirs along faults or be present locally in areas of gas reservoirs within the permafrost section. Gas can be preserved within permafrost in a free state as well as in hydrate form throughout the permafrost zone. Introduction are prevented by heavy drill mud. Recent changes in drilling procedure in the Yamal gas fields (planned to Sudden gas blowouts originating within permafrost be operated by ÒGazpromÓ in near future) have provi- intervals have been encountered during well drilling in ded an opportunity to study these gas releases in more different parts of the polar region (Yakushev and detail.

  • Polar Powers: Russia’S Bid for Supremacy in the Arctic Ocean
    Get a fresh start. Choose your FT trial The Big Read Arctic Polar powers: Russia’s bid for supremacy in the Arctic Ocean As climate change opens northern shipping lanes, Moscow is spending billions to dominate the region Nastassia Astrasheuskaya and Henry Foy in St Petersburg APRIL 27, 2019 Just days before a major Arctic conference this month in St Petersburg, where president Vladimir Putin was to host four regional leaders under the banner “Arctic: Territory of Dialogue”, Russian warships were on manoeuvres in the frigid northern waters. On the waves of the Barents Sea, a frigate from the Northern Fleet fired rockets to shoot down cruise missiles launched from one of its own anti-submarine warships. It was a show of strength not missed by Mr Putin’s guests. The Barents, whose waters lap Norway’s coast, marks the western boundary of the Northern Sea Route, a stretch of water encircling the North Pole that has for thousands of years remained mainly ice-bound, but whose rapid thaw has ushered in one of the world’s biggest emerging geopolitical flashpoints. Fuelled by climate change that is rapidly shrinking the northern ice cap, the NSR has become an arena of growing competition. Its potential as a preferential shipping route between Europe and Asia could change global trade flows. The colossal hydrocarbon reserves that lie beneath it could upend energy markets. And its growing militarisation has caught the attention of world powers. Feedback While dozens of countries have begun staking claims to its riches, none has been as proactive as Russia in seeking to exploit the region, leaving others scrambling to keep pace.
