About the Book

The Arctic and its surrounding marginal seas are considered some of the most sensitive elements of the global environment, which may respond rapidly to climate change. However, due to various reasons, our knowledge of the processes which drive the Arctic system today and in the past is still relatively sparse. Based on a multidisciplinary approach, German and Russian scientists describe in this book the natural paleorecords and modern data which were collected over six years. These marine and terrestrial datasets provide important insights into the causes, impacts, and feedback mechanisms of this extreme Arctic environment.

Table of Contents:
Section A: Modern Ocean and Sea-Ice Processes.- Features of Seasonal and Interannual Variability of the Sea Level and Water Circulation in the Laptev Sea.- Numerical Modelling of Storm Surges in the Laptev Sea Based on the Finite Element Method.- Large-Scale Variations of Sea Level in the Laptev Sea.- Extreme Oscillations of the Sea Level in the Laptev Sea.- Internal Waves in the Laptev Sea.- The Composition of the Coarse Fraction of Aerosols in the Marine Boundary Layer over the Laptev, Kara and Barents Seas.- New Data on Sea-Ice Albedo in the Laptev and Barents Seas.- Possible Causes of Radioactive Contamination in the Laptev Sea.- Oceanographic Causes for Transarctic Ice Transport of River Discharge.- Step-Like Vertical Structure Formation Due to Turbulent Mixing of Initially Continuous Density Gradients.- Dissolved and Particulate Major and Trace Elements in Newly Formed Ice from the Laptev Sea(Transdrift III, October 1995).- Particle Entrainment into Newly Forming Sea Ice -
