Arctic Ocean Technology and Law of the Sea Research (ATLAR)

This project aims to integrate innovative technologies such as remote sensing from satellites and ocean floor observatories, as well as develop solutions for future legal framework that will protect retrieval of data from integrated technologies. Our strong alliance of Arctic Ocean and Law of the Sea Research involves The K.G. Jebsen Centre for the Law of the Sea (JCLOS), The Centre for integrated remote sensing and forecasting for Arctic operations (CIRFA), The Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) and the Department of Arctic and Marine Biology (AMB). Combined, these four groups from three faculties at UiT The Arctic University of Norway bring together a strong team of lawyers, marine researchers and physicists to develop scenarios and regulative actions for rapid anthropogenic driven climate change that impacts the Arctic Ocean environment and what the impacts mean to our future.

 

Rapid warming of the Arctic Ocean reduces the area covered by sea ice. This decrease in sea ice leads to an increase in potential areas for industrialization and shipping activity in the Arctic, possibly increasing the impact on the marine environment and ecosystems. High-resolution and long-term mapping and monitoring are necessary to distinguish human- from natural-driven impact. The gained knowledge may drive future sustainable management and decision-making in the High North. In the Arctic, environmental studies have typically been based on short-term measurements from single locations, which do not necessarily give representative inferences ov
