The sea area around the Orkney archipelago, Scotland is subjected to substantial maritime shipping activities. By contract, the Svalbard archipelago, Norway currently has a rather low marine traffic profile. Future projections, however, indicate that the Trans-Arctic route might change the whole transportation picture and Svalbard may be at the cen...
Increasing exploration and exploitation activity in the Arctic Ocean has intensified maritime traffic in the Barents Sea. Due to the sparse population and insufficient oil spill response infrastructure on the extensive Barents Sea shoreline, it is necessary to address the possibility of offshore accidents and study hazards to the local environment...
The most important issue, besides financial viability, which stops oil and gas industry from operating in full scale in Arctic seas, is the harsh environmental conditions, which can undermine oil spill response actions in case of oil spill accidents. The methods and technologies that are currently in use, cannot deliver efficient and fast oil recov...
This book presents the latest scientific views on resource use conflicts in the Arctic seas. The main areas of focus are the biological resources of Arctic seas vs. exploitation of oil and gas resources, and the conflicts in between. In addition, climate change is presented as a stressor, which both limits and facilitates the economic availability...
The importance of the Arctic has increased because of geopolitical, economic, environmental, and transport issues, and the Arctic region has turned from the world’s periphery into a centre of global attention. In perspective of risks attributed to Arctic Ocean oil spills, which are more likely to happen due to increased oil exploration activities a...
This report provides baseline information regarding northern communities involved in the RECENT
project. On a country level, critical infrastructure state, in particular, water services as well as
energy solutions intended to improve regional energy security and self-sufficiency are described. In addition, existing financial mechanisms for implemen...
Water and energy resources are crucial topics on the current European political agenda. At the same time, there is no coherence between the two sectors in terms of legislation: both on EU and national levels, such as Finland. This thesis aims to underline a potential for utilization of renewable energy sources in the Finnish water industry.
In the...
