Environmental Impacts from Ships Operating in Polar Regions
Abstract Climate change and the associated reductions in thickness and extent of ice cover, in addition to various global market forces and an overall interest in the Polar Regions, are contributing to increased levels of shipping and vessel operation in both Arctic and Antarctic waters. Despite a g...
