Sea ice in the Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing components of the global climate
system. Over the past few decades, summer areal extent has declined over 30%, and all …

Abstract Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to
review biological effects of the exposure to organohalogen compounds (OHCs) in Arctic …

Winter is a key driver of individual performance, community composition, and ecological
interactions in terrestrial habitats. Although climate change research tends to focus on …

Arctic marine mammals (AMMs) are icons of climate change, largely because of their close
association with sea ice. However, neither a circumpolar assessment of AMM status nor a …

In this article, we review evidence of how climate change has already resulted in clearly
discernable changes in marine Arctic ecosystems. After defining the term 'footprint'and …

Several recent climate impact assessments on polar regions have been undertaken,
including the synthesis report on Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (AMAP …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) encompass an array of anthropogenic organic and
elemental substances and their degradation and metabolic byproducts that have been found …

We review seven Arctic and four subarctic marine mammal species, their habitat
requirements, and evidence for biological and demographic responses to climate change …

Incorporation of global climate change (GCC) effects into assessments of chemical risk and
injury requires integrated examinations of chemical and nonchemical stressors …

We consider the current evidence of climate change effects on marine mammals that occur
in US waters relative to past predictions. Compelling cases of such effects have been …
