Challenges and perspectives for human activity in Arctic coastal environments – a review of selected interactions and problems
The currently-observed increase in human activity in the Arctic accelerates the negative impact on the environment as well as increases the risk of threats to mankind itself. This paper reviews and summarises a selection of studies on the interaction between humans and the environment in the Arctic...
