| Description: |
The Arctic sea-ice is retreating faster than predicted by climate models and could become ice free during summer this century. The reduced sea-ice extent may effectively "unlock" the Arctic Ocean to increased human activities such as transit shipping and expanded oil and gas production. In this study researchers use a detailed global energy market model and a shipping model with a sea-ice module to construct emission inventories of future Arctic shipping and petroleum activities.
