Laptev

But the shelf below the Laptev, East Siberian and Russian part of the Chuckchi sea is three times the size of Siberia's wetlands.

A Confession 2010

The only improvement in winter sea-ice conditions for the Laptev, East Siberian, and western Chukchi Seas is a possible reduction in the area and frequency of multi-year floes along the navigable coastal routes.

Biodegradation of this coastal material is a regional source of high pCO2 in surface waters of the Laptev and East Siberian Seas [27].

Carbon cycle and climate change in the Arctic 2009

Zones 1 and 2 are the most dynamic, especially in locations where erosion is rapid (e.g., the Laptev and Beaufort Sea coasts).

Permafrost in the Arctic 2009

For example, the near-shore zone of the Laptev and East Siberian Seas is the most climatically sensitive area in the Arctic and has the highest rates of coastal retreat [26].

Carbon cycle and climate change in the Arctic 2009

In the shelf seas of the Arctic Ocean (e.g., the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, and Beaufort Seas), a significant increase in nutrient supply is very likely to happen when the edge of the permanent ice pack retreats beyond the shelf break.

Examples of unstable coastal environments are shown in the insets from the Pechora (photo: S. Ogorodov, courtesy of the Arctic Coastal Dynamics website), Laptev (photo: M. Grigoriev, courtesy of the Arctic Coastal Dynamics website), and Beaufort (photo: S. Solomon, Geological Survey of Canada) Sea coasts.

Sea-level rise and coastal stability in the Arctic 2009

Under the strong AO+ conditions of the early 1990s, the Beaufort Sea ice became more isolated whereas sea ice from the Kara, Laptev, and East Siberian Seas was displaced into the central Arctic and toward the Canadian Archipelago.

Sea ice effect on marine systems in the Arctic 2009

The marine Arctic is defined within this assessment as comprising the Arctic Ocean, including the deep Eurasian and Canadian Basins and the surrounding continental shelf seas (Barents, White, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas), the Canadian Archipelago, and the transitional regions to the south through which exchanges between temperate and arctic waters occur.

General features of Arctic marine systems 2009

They may be fairly isolated geographically as are the Svalbard and Chukchi – Bering sea stocks of the bowhead whale, Atlantic and Pacific subspecies of the walrus, and populations of the same species of seabirds of the Atlantic and Pacific sectors, but occasionally are only separated by massifs of heavy pack ice (the Laptev and Pacific subspecies of the walrus).
