This book brings together the results from a wide range of
environmental, ecological, and socioeconomic studies based on extensive
data analysis and numerical modelling simulations. It provides a
quantitative assessment of the vulnerability of the White Sea marine
ecosystems, including scenarios for future anthropogenic and climate
change forcing. Amongst the subjects explored in depth are: extensive
historical marine and riverine data records; an examination of the White
Sea ecosystem profile; the application of satellite Earth observation
investigations into changes in regional physical oceanography and marine
ecology; challenges of data assimilation in ocean and ecosystem
modelling; the extent of the present state-of-the-art and future
developments in the region; socio-economic impact of ecological changes;
and an integrated assessment of the state of the ecology, vulnerability,
and sustainability of the White Sea.
