This journal publishes research on Arctic ecosystems, focusing on the impacts of climate change and environmental shifts. Studies investigate permafrost thaw, greenhouse gas emissions, and changes in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Research also examines the effects of these changes on wildlife, including marine mammals, birds, and small rodents, as well as their interactions with human activities and infrastructure. The journal also covers the application of new technologies for monitoring Arctic environments and wildlife, and the integration of Indigenous Knowledge with scientific research.
