Stern,W.H. Schroeder,R. Wagemann,Mark B. Yunker +28 more
TL;DR: New knowledge developed under the NCP on the sources, occurrence and pathways of contaminants (organochlorines, Hg, Pb and Cd, PAHs, artificial radionuclides) are highlighted and compelling evidence for close connectivity between the global emission of contaminants from industrial and agricultural activities and the Arctic is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mark B. Yunker,Lloyd R. Snowdon,Robie W. Macdonald,John N. Smith,Martin G. Fowler,Donald N. Skibo,Fiona A. McLaughlin,A. I. Danyushevskaya,and V. I. Petrova,G. I. Ivanov +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, principal components analysis (PCA) is used to reveal the potential sources of PAHs and their geochemistry in sediments from the Beaufort and Barents Seas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fukushima Daiichi–Derived Radionuclides in the Ocean: Transport, Fate, and Impacts

TL;DR: Five years after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, it is appropriate to review what happened in terms of the sources, transport, and fate of these radionuclides in the ocean, and the potential health effects and societal impacts are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in temperature and tracer distributions within the Arctic Ocean: results from the 1994 Arctic Ocean section

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of data obtained during the 1994 Arctic Ocean Section to earlier measurements is made, showing that anomalously warm and well-ventilated waters are now found in the Nansen, Amundsen and Makarov basins, with the largest temperature differences in the core of the Atlantic layer (200-400 m).
