Bathymetry critically influences the intrusion of warm Circumpolar Deep Water onto the continental shelf and under ice shelf cavities in Antarctica, thereby forcing ice melting, grounding line retreat, and sea level rise. We present a novel and comprehensive bathymetry of Antarctica that includes all ice shelf cavities and previously unmeasured continental shelf areas. The new bathymetry is based on a 3D inversion of a circumpolar compilation of gravity anomalies constrained by measurements from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean, BedMachine Antarctica, and discrete seafloor measurements from seismic and ocean robotic probes.

Sensory impairments, including hearing and vision loss, are common in older adults and can affect quality of life. This study examines the integration of hearing and vision assessments in preventive home visits (PHVs) for older adults in the Faroe Islands, comparing outcomes between urban and rural settings. To evaluate the feasibility of including sensory assessments in PHVs and compare sensory measurements between Tórshavn (urban) and rural districts.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweden adopted a recommendation-based approach rather than strict lockdowns. This approach relies on public willingness to adhere to guidelines and motivations for prosocial behaviour. This study aimed to explore the motivations behind adherence or non-adherence to COVID-19 recommendations in Sweden.

Article Synopsis
  • The Arctic Monitoring Assessment Program's 2021 report highlights the health effects of environmental contaminants, particularly persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and metals, on Arctic populations.
  • Key findings indicate that these contaminants have serious health risks, especially for developing fetuses and children, affecting brain development and increasing the likelihood of obesity and diabetes.
  • The report emphasizes the need for future research on genetic factors and how different chemical exposures interact to better understand their impacts on health.

Introduction: Climate change impacts the circumpolar region (including northern Canada) at a greater magnitude than other parts of the world. This affects food (in)security as well as food sovereignty. This scoping review aims to map the methods of measuring food (in)security and food sovereignty across northern Canada and the circumpolar region in support of the Yukon Government's climate change adaptation strategy.
