      In the context of global warming, Arctic sea ice has declined substantially during the satellite era (Kwok 2018). The retreating and thinning of Arctic sea ice provide opportunities for human activities in the Arctic, such as tourism, fisheries, shipping, natural resource exploitation, and wildlife management; however, new risks emerge. To ensure the safety and emergency management of human activities ...

      Arctic navigation has become operational in recent decades with the decline in summer sea ice. To assess the navigability of trans-Arctic passages, combined model and satellite sea ice thickness (CMST) data covering both freezing seasons and melting seasons are integrated with the Arctic Transportation Accessibility Model (ATAM). The trans-Arctic navigation window and transit time are thereby obtained ...
