Data from: The interaction of ice and law in Arctic marine accessibility
Sea ice levies an impost on maritime navigability in the Arctic. But ice cover diminution due to anthropogenic climate change is generating expectations for improved accessibility in coming decades. Projections of sea ice cover retreating preferentially from the eastern Arctic suggest key provisions...

Sea ice levies an impost on maritime navigability in the Arctic. But ice cover diminution due to anthropogenic climate change is generating expectations for improved accessibility in coming decades. Projections of sea ice cover retreating preferentially from the eastern Arctic suggest key provisions of international law of the sea will require revision. Specifically, protections against marine pollution in ice covered seas enshrined in Article 234 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea have been used in recent decades to extend jurisdictional competence over the Northern Sea Route only loosely associated with environmental outcomes. Projections show that plausible open water routes through international waters may be accessible by mid-century under all but the most aggressive of emissions control scenarios. While inter- and intra-annual variability places the economic viability of these routes in question for some time, the inevitability of a seasonally ice-free Arctic will be attended by a reduction of regulatory friction and a recalibration of associated legal frameworks. The data can be used to reproduce Figure 2 in the publication. This research is supported by NSF grant NNA 2022599 and benefitted from ongoing conversations with co-investigators on this project. |
