Analysis and Prediction of Changes in the Temperature of the Pure Freshwater Ice Column in the Antarctic and the Arctic
Analysis and prediction of changes in the temperature of the pure freshwater ice column in the Antarctic and the Arctic A.A. Fedotov, V.V. Kaniber, P.V. Khrapov Abstract – This paper investigates the initial boundary value problem for a non-stationary one-dimensional heat equation that simulates the temperature distribution in freshwater ice near the Earth's poles. The mathematical model has been constructed taking into account solid-liquid phase transitions. Data from meteorological stations were used to determine the model parameters, with the help of which the necessary physical and thermophysical characteristics of the computational domain were obtained. For the numerical solution of the problem, the finite volume method (FVM) was used. In order to analyze changes in the temperature field of ice and determine the time required to reach a non-stationary periodic regime, graphs of temperature versus depth were plotted for January at two stations. The study of the results showed that it takes about 50 years of modeling with constant initial data for the temperature of an ice layer up to 20 m deep to reach the periodic regime. For the obtained periodic regime, the temperature versus depth dependences for each month were plotted, and the depth of the active layer, as well as the depth of zero annual amplitudes were found for each meteorological station. A forecast of the ice temperature regime for 2100 was modeled for three Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios of global warming: moderate RCP2.6, corresponding to the current emissions of RCP7 and adopted at the Paris Agreement in 2015 RCP1.9. -

Introduction 3 2. Black Carbon Emissions 4 3. Methane Emissions 9 4. National Actions on Emissions Reduction 14 5. Best Practices and International Cooperation 17 6. Activities Aimed at the Improvement of the Situation in the Arctic 19 Region 7. Conclusion 21 3 Introduction The Arctic is one of the most sensitive regions of the planet in terms of climate change. Changes in the climate and environment of the Arctic have widespread effects on societies and the whole ecosystem, as well as repercussions around the world. This makes evident the need to undertake urgent measures both nationally and globally for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Climate change and technological breakthroughs are opening the Arctic, its riches and resources, to commercial development. We welcome the adoption of the Framework for Action on Enhanced Black Carbon and Methane Emissions Reductions by the Arctic Council. From our perspective, it is a timely step towards dealing with climate and environmental challenges in the Arctic region. The Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation is the largest in the world; no other country has such vast territories above the Arctic Circle. 2.4 million people live in the Arctic. -

Lichens of Franz Josef Land Archipelago
vol. 40, no. 2, pp. 139–170, 2019 doi: 10.24425/ppr.2019.128372 Lichens of Franz Josef Land archipelago Liudmila Alexandrovna KONOREVA1,2*, Sergey Seraphimovich KHOLOD2, Sergey Vladimirovich CHESNOKOV2 and Mikhail Petrovich ZHURBENKO2 1 The Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden and Institute KSC RAS, Kirovsk, Murmansk region, 184209, Russia 2 Komarov Botanical Institute RAS, Professor Popov St. 2, St. Petersburg, 197376, Russia * corresponding author <[email protected]> Abstract: Information on lichens of Franz Josef Land is summarized based on original and literature data. Two hundred twenty nine lichen species are documented, of which 59 species and two varieties are newly reported for this territory. This represents only 13% of the Arctic lichen flora richness. We have found 28 rare lichen species in the archipelago and recommend to include 9 species in the Red Data Book of the Arkhan- gelsk Region of Russia. Key words: Russian Arctic, Franz Josef Land, lichenized fungi, polar desert, new records. Introduction The first information about lichens of Franz Josef Land was published by Fischer (1896), who reported seven lichen species collected by the expedition of Jackson and Harmsworth in 1894–97. The Italian expedition “Spedizione Polare di S. A. R. Luigi Amadeo di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi 1899–1900” collected 24 lichen species which were subsequently determined by A. Jatta and published by Mattirolo and Belli (1903). Elenkin and Savichz (1912) reported 41 lichen species collected by I.V. Palibin during the Russian expedition on the icebreaker “Ermak” in 1901. Lynge (1931) published 69 lichen species collected by O. Hanssen during the Norwegian expedition in 1930. -

The Barents Sea, the White Sea, the Kara Sea)
Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Western Seas of the Russian Arctic (the Barents Sea, the White Sea, the Kara Sea) Ninth century 870–890 The travel of Otar, a Viking from the Norwegian province of Hologaland (now Helgeland), who discovered the way to the White Sea. The story of this journey was recorded from his own words by the English King, Alfred the Great. 9th–10th century The beginning of the Russian advance to the north and northeast and their appearance on the shores of the White Sea and the Barents Sea. Tenth century 920 The Viking Eirik Bloodaxe sailed in the mouth of the Northern Dvina (it was called “Vina” in the sagas). 965 The son of Eirik Bloodaxe, the Viking Harald Grey Cloak made a trip to the mouth of the Northern Dvina. Eleventh century 11th century The people of Novgorod, coming out of the White Sea, won Biarmia, the country located on the Pechora River and the Northern Dvina. 1026 The mouth of the Northern Dvina was visited by the Viking Torer Dog, who first engaged in peaceful trade but ended up plundering the temple of Iomala (supposedly located on the site of the current Kholmogory). Twelfth century 12th century (first The mention in the annals of the Terskiy Shore (the White Sea Throat), among Novgorod’s half) possessions. 1110 or 1130 The archbishop of Novgorod, John, founded a monastery of the Archangel Michael (at the mouth of the Northern Dvina), at which there was a settlement, an early precursor of the port and the city of Arkhangelsk. -
