Abstract This research examines coastal erosion along the Arctic shoreline at Tiksi in the Lena River Delta under significant impacts of a warming climate. Climate warming, characterized by elevated surface temperatures, has accelerated the melting of ground ice and exacerbated coastal erosion. Despite extensive studies on Arctic coastal dynamics, considerable gaps remain in understanding local…

Climate challenges for small indigenous groups in the Russian Arctic
[Ed. for further exploration of the topic, Matvienko cites 23 research studies from the last fifteen years included at the end of his article] Roshydromet’s data shows that the average annual air temperature in the Russian Arctic has warmed faster than other parts of the world. (Matvienko, 2023), affecting indigenous (Nenet, Evenk, Chutki) populations. These…
Measuring methane from the Russian Arctic shelf
CO2 (carbon dioxide) are widely publicised but CH4 (methane) emissions are less known. These more potent methane emissions in the atmosphere are also caused by either natural or anthropogenic sources. When oxidised, CH4 leads to the formation of CO2 emissions in atmospheric ozone. Studies of land and water sources of emissions are more widely known….
