Arctic Council Controversy

The protection of the nation’s resources and the sea itself directly impacts our economic stability, which therefore guarantees our credibility as a superpower nation. In addition to fulfilling the presidential mandate this mission is very well tied to our commitment to maritime stewardship. Nevertheless without the appropriate resources air Station Kodiak’s H-60 division will not be able to support the Arctic Mission. The challenges involved with supporting the arctic mission, the positive impact that forces from other units in executing this mission, and solutions to mitigate current challenges to better support future operations in the region have all been outlined. Whatever the outcome maybe one thing remains true, we as Chiefs strive to lead our people through many challenges, including changes, and we will always preserver using the vast network of knowledge found in the Chiefs mess to find solutions. Challenge those that offer temporary solutions and be the anchor in finding a permanent

Collaborating on an international level remains important for conducting ice patch research due to the rapid melting of alpine ice and decay of valuable artifacts. The work conducted for this thesis included cooperation from Parks Canada. Ice patch research was conducted not only on the U.S. side of the international border, but also on the Canadian side of Chilkoot Pass. Parks Canada allowed me and KLGO archaeologists to use the Canadian warden cabin at the summit of Chilkoot Pass as a basecamp for the ice patch study (Figure 1.4). Working between two sovereign countries emphasizes the matter of climate change as a global issue and the importance in maintaining international relations. Maintaining international relations benefits the scientific community on a global scale and provides significant research opportunities.

Canadian Arctic Sovereignty is currently a pressing issue has raised many questions about who owns and who has control over the Arctic and its precious resources. The posing question is; to what extent should Canada protect its Arctic Sovereignty? There are many reasons why Canada must go forward in defending and protecting the Arctic to a moderate extent even though it will be a challenging mission considering that the Canadian military currently needs more resources in order to properly defend the Arctic. They must defend the population of Inuit that currently reside in the Arctic must be protected because their way of life is changing due to their changing landscape. The gain

The inuit have to understand the natural patterns of Arctic wildlife because of global warming. Global warming is causing problems because the number

More than 90% percent of the food in Alaska comes in from elsewhere. Also the Circumpolar Council-Alaska looks out for coastal villages in the state. The United States and the other countries all contribute to global warming and pollution that affects the Arctic. The oogruk are the largest of Alaska’s Ice seals. The inuit live in the Arctic region, which includes parts of Alaska, a few European countries and Russia. The Inuits in Alaska are having many problems because of global warming. They are having trouble finding food while hunting and Alaska already has to find it's food from other places.

Kolbert provides compelling evidence of Global Warming in the Arctic from her hands-on experience accompanying scientists in the field. From the storm surges that threaten the Alaskan village of Sarichef to the warming (and even melting!) permafrost, the evidence all point to the irrefutable fact that the planet is warming up extraordinarily fast. In fact, the Keeling Curve gives us a rather explicit visualization of how greenhouse gases levels (CO2, in particular) are rising at unprecedented rates.

On June 6, 1851, the Jacklins had their third son William. Meanwhile, Moses and Ann near Ottawa had caught up with Robinson and Christy as they had four children with a fifth on the way. Their family consisted now of William (b 1841), Mary Ann (b 1844), Maria (b 1848), Sarah Jane (b 1849) all born in Nepean. They also had moved in 1850 so Moses could finally get his own plot of land and be a full fledged farmer. His land was just east of Hanover, Bentinck Twp, Grey County (Con. 1, Lots 23-24), which itself is just south of Owen Sound. Moses now had 100 acres of his own and a lot of hard work to clear the land sufficiently to be able to sustain a family.

The Arctic Mining case revolves primarily around team member relations. Incidentally, there is great value in studying teams and team dynamics due to the popularity of team use and team coordination across organizations (Robert N. Lussier, Human Relations in Organization (Toronto: McGraw-Hill, 2008), 194).

Despite recent International opportunism, Canada lays claim to the region through historic documents and acts of sovereignty. Canada’s claim to the area began in 1670. When King Charles II of England granted Rupert’s land in a charter to the Hudson’s Bay Company at the height of the fur trading era. This charter covered a large area around Hudson’s Bay, including the northern expanse above the bay (Rose 4). In 1880, Britain granted the new dominion of Canada the Arctic Archipelago (Rose 5). Including 94 arctic islands and “all Islands adjacent to any such territories” discovered or not (Bonikowski). To secure Canadian sovereignty, Canada sent explorers Joseph-Elzéar Bernier and Vilhjalmur Stefansson to leave plaques and flags on several islands. The symbolic significance of flag raising is questioned, as sovereignty entails taking responsibility for a region through tangible ways.

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, is a refuge geared toward preserving national wildlife in northeastern Alaska. ANWR is about 19 million acres, in space, and contains a potential drilling spot for oil and petroleum. The potential drilling spot is a small area known as the 10-02 Area. It is only 1.5 million acres, or 8%, of ANWR, would even be considered for development (What is ANWR). The controversy surrounding ANWR is whether to drill or not to drill into the 10-02 area. Some people want to preserve the wilderness and to find more fuel-efficient technologies. Others want to lower gas prices and to create more job opportunities. If the government decides to drill for oil, it could possibly lead to about 17 billion barrels of oil,

In Harper Lee’s historical novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the main protagonist, Atticus Finch, delivers his final argumentative response to not only prove the innocence of Tom Robinson, who was allegedly convicted of raping Mayella Ewell, but to address the inequality and immoral code of conduct against African-Americans faced in society. Finch’s purpose is to publicise the unethical treatment blacks receive from whites and to show that they should not be the culprit of society due to their race. He adopts a passionate and sincere tone in order to emphasize the discrimination African-Americans face in society to the people in the courtroom.

It contains an expanse of tundra with many marshes and lagoons with rivers situated between foothills of the Brooks Range and the wide, icy waters of the Beaufort Sea. Environmentalists said that this area “is the most biologically productive part of the Arctic Refuge for wildlife and is the center if wildlife activity.” The importance of these resources is not measurable. The Arctic is home to such animals as caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, whales, wolves and snow geese. This area is full of wildflowers and contains water of excellent, unpolluted quality and quantity. The Arctic Ocean costal plain is an area critical to the survival of many birds and mammals (‘Alaska Wild’).

So legally we do own parts of the Arctic but what about after 12 miles? Well there is another set of laws in the UNCLOS act. There is a 200 nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone around

Ancient Greek and Roman cultures have greatly influenced modern lifestyle significantly through the artistic and historical events which contributed immensely to shaping the present world. Today, many of the significant monuments and buildings constructed between the late 80’s and early 90’s were inspired mostly by the architectural designs of these ancient civilizations. The most significant architectural representations of these cultures are still being used today for special purposes and serve as tourist attractions and inspiration to both artists and non-artists alike. We compare these two magnificent structures, their style and function thereby giving us a better understanding of the similarities and differences in the lifestyles of their

The Arctic is global warming’s canary in the coal mine. It is a highly sensitive area which is profoundly affected by the changing climate. The average temperature in the Arctic is rising twice as fast as elsewhere in the world (nrdc.org). Because of this, the ice cap is getting thinner, melting away, and rupturing. Here is an example of this; the largest ice block in the Arctic, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, had been around for 3000 years before it started cracking in 2000 (nrdc.org) By 2002, the Ward Hunt has cracked completely through and had started breaking into smaller pieces. The melting ice caps are affecting the earth and its inhabitants in many ways. In this paper, the following concepts and subjects will be
