At-Sea Distribution of Seabirds and Marine Mammals in the Unexplored Southern Weddell Sea, Antarctica 1-11
Background: In the frame of our long-term study in polar seas, the at-sea distribution of “top predators” – seabirds and marine mammals – was studied in the Weddell Sea area, both the well-covered northern one (sub-antarctic Scotia Sea) as well as in the...

Greenland Warming Drives Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and Amplified Fire Hazard in Northern Europe 23-42
A. V. Kholoptsev
One of the reasons for the change in fire danger associated with weather conditions in any part of Europe is the corresponding variations in average monthly surface air temperatures, as well as monthly precipitation. The factors, causing these variations, include changes in the state of the...

The Impact of Warming in Greenland on the North-Atlantic, Arctic, And West Pacific Oscillations, As Well as on Fire Risk in Siberia Is Increasing 12-44
A.V. Kholoptsev
One of the reasons for the increased fire danger due to weather conditions in any part of Siberia is the variations in average monthly surface air temperatures and average precipitation intensity. Significant factors in these processes include the North-Atlantic, Arctic, and West Pacific...
