Strategic Project

The article focuses on the issues of the formation of a conceptually new target model of a regional flagship university. Based on the experience of the formation and development of the Murmansk Arctic State University, which acquired the status of a flagship one in 2017, the authors analyze the origins of the formation of the model, its specificity, which is substantively and formally defined in the parameters of the Arctic perspective. The major intensively developing areas of MASU’s activity in the past two years have been focuses on two important factors of regional development, implemented in the form of two strategic flagship university projects. The first strategic project – “MASU is the scientific and technological hub of the region” – is aimed at solving the most acute regional task of effectively using both the economic and scientific / innovative potential of the region. The second strategic project – “Creative City is a Territory of Development” – reflects the interaction of the creative communities of the region, the Russian Federation and the world with prospect consumers represented by the regional government, municipalities, institutions and industrial enterprises. MASU is the main platform for combining a variety of strategies and searches aimed at changing urban and township sociocultural spaces, an integrator of various areas of design, creative technologies and cultural practices that affect the improvement of the quality of life and human capital development. The key role is determined by the role of the flagship university as a driver of the regional socio-economic development. The developing dialogue between the university, business and government is affirmed as an indispensable condition for the University’s successful functioning and a pledge for its further development.

The Given

The paper analyzes the statistical and temporal seasonal and decadal variability of the atmospheric pressure field in the Arctic region of Russia. Schemes for the frequency analysis of probability transitions for characteristics of stochastic-diffusion processes were used as the main research method. On the basis of the given series of 60 years long from 1948 to 2008, such parameters of diffusion processes as the mean (drift process) and variance (diffusion process) were calculated and their maps and time curves were constructed. The seasonal and long-term variability of calculated fields was studied as well as their dependencies on a discretization of the frequency intervals. These characteristics were analyzed and their geophysical interpretation was carried out. In particular, the known cycles of solar activity in 11 and 22 years were revealed. Numerical calculations were performed on the Lomonosov-2 supercomputer of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The Arctic gains an increasing geopolitical importance in the globalized world. The region provides a lot of opportunities especially due to the global warming and intensive development of digital technology but at the same time, it poses extreme challenges. The chapter starts with a literature review on interactions, relationships, networks and their implications on trans-Arctic collaborations. The first section begins by exploring how each Arctic state deals with the opportunities and challenges of the region. The second section describes the evolution of trans-Arctic relations. In the third section, market connections between the Arctic states, the importance of establishing a predictable regulatory framework, knowledge and data exchange, broadband penetration, and use of traditional indigenous knowledge to stimulate sustainable long-term trans-Arctic interactions are analyzed. The chapter ends with conclusions and recommendations aimed at the future development of trans-Arctic interactions with a focus on global intervention policies and strategies in the region.

Historical Developments

In the Arctic, where there are seals there are seal hunters. And it is the Arctic states which have been hunting seals for generations. But contrary to other marine mammals, no comprehensive Arctic treaty exists which regulates the hunt for seals. Instead, each Arctic state has developed its own legislative framework for seal hunting. This article screens the current seal hunting legislation in the Arctic states and provides an assessment of the different regimes with regard to animal welfare, professionalism of the hunters and environmental considerations. While there are differences in the set-up of the respective legislation this can be explained by different historical geneses and underlying incentives. Historical developments and the purposes of the seal hunts are therefore discussed in light of current legislation. Lastly, this paper suggests that although a comprehensive sealing treaty in the Arctic is not feasible, close regional cooperation is a crucial element in seal management in the Arctic.

AbstractDuring the summer of 1964, a field party from Wichita State University conducted a survey in the vicinity of May Lake, 50 air mi. northwest of Anaktuvuk Pass. A large number of heavily patinated artifacts was discovered on and beneath the present ground surface in the flood plain of a small stream not registered on U.S. Geological Survey maps and named Sedna Creek. The artifact assemblage consists of flakes and flake tools, all of which belong to one single tradition. A comparison with Far North assemblages indicates that Sedna Creek is the fourth site of the British Mountain complex. Of Old World sites, Ust-Kanskaia, Tuin-Gol, the Mal’ta-Buret complex, Sannyi Mys, and Chastinskaya appear closely related.

AbstractThe mass balance is computed along the Ohio State University (OSU) transect near the Arctic Circle and along the Expédition Glaciologique Internationale au Groenland (EGIG) line. Measured surface velocities are compared with velocities calculated from up-glacial accumulation rate, flow-line spreading, ice thickness, and the depth variation in horizontal velocity. The depth variation in velocity is calculated using the constitutive relation for ice, calculated temperatures within the glacier, computed shear and longitudinal stresses, and allowance for impurity content and ice-crystal orientation. The resulting mass balance is +0.6 ± 0.14 m a−1 for the OSU transect and 0 ± 0.07 m a−1 along the EGIG line. The errors arise mainly from uncertainties in measured accumulation rate and flow-line spreading, and perhaps in flow-enhancement factors due to ice anisotropy or impurities. The results for the EGIG line differ from prior estimates mainly because earlier works placed greater emphasis on short-term accumulation rates.
