Grants and Contributions:
Title:
Understanding the ecological risk of ship-based contaminants in a warming Arctic
Agreement Number:
-
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
The Arctic is warming rapidly, leading to longer ice-free seasons and increased shipping traffic, which raises the risk of oil-based pollution, particularly from harmful polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). Ongoing research, in collaboration with Northern communities, focuses on monitoring PACs in wildlife and integrating this data with shipping risk maps to identify pollution trends and inform environmental response efforts.
