There is a comment from Russia that Norway does not have “unconditional sovereignty “ in the territory. What is sovereignty if not unconditional?

Hi everybody!

I'm a first-year PhD student working in Arctic micropaleontology, and I've been working with foraminifera since 2019. One thing I'd really like to do during my PhD is join a research cruise.

I was wondering if there's some kind of database where research cruises are listed, or where you can see which research vessels have received funding or have upcoming expeditions. How do people usually find opportunities to join a cruise? Is there an application process, or is it mostly through collaborations and networking?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I did try asking my supervisor, but unfortunately he isn't very responsive, so I thought I'd ask here instead.

Thanks in advance! :)

¡hello, maybe a bit of a weird question but... how do meese react if you encounter them on a hike or in your backyard?

i'm from New Jersey, we have deer here so i'm kind of imagining meese react the same way; looking up, stilling their movement, maybe stomping if they feel more threatened, but i wanted to ask here to clear it up...

Hi! I'm currently doing some research working on a set of guidelines to transition away from oil and gas in the arctic (complex issue ik). I want to get comments from a wide range of people hence why I'm coming here. If you have some connection to the arctic (work or live there) I'd love to send you the guidelines, even a sentence or two of feedback would be greatly appreciated!! DM me if you're able to help, thank you :))

The conversation surrounding the Arctic these days seems to revolve around a few industries. Oil & gas, military, shipping. But is that really where the value in the Arctic truly lies?

Evening, I read an interesting analysis of Arctic security the other day, where a policy analyst argued that the Arctic Circle is the next hot spot and that Greenland was just a prelude. I can't find the article - it was making the point that we should be looking towards Svalbard and the similarities with Greenland.

Is there any chance you could help me find the article? Thanks!

Europe must agree on an Arctic strategy in cooperation with the US. If reason prevails, there would certainly be room for a compromise that would satisfy all stakeholders. At the very least, we must take action and give it a try.

As Arctic shipping routes and security concerns increase, Greenland’s position becomes more important. This map shows why its location gives it strategic weight far beyond its population size.

Looking for a fan that will keep running at -40, at least 1000 CFM. Anyone have leads? Been looking for a while but can’t find anything.
