Abstract
The scientific investigation of a rapidly changing northern environment leads to research questions of such intellectual, empirical and logistical complexity—and of such importance to the management of national resources and associated international obligations—that they can only be addressed properly through national and prioritized cooperation, with the highest scientific standards.
Highlights
Future Barents Sea than what has been possible to date from more standard, but fragmented, research initiatives
The main risk in the data collection and infrastructure lies in the use of a new research vessel. We evaluate this risk to be small, and not critical
A detailed description of the milestones and timing of activities is given in the on-line application form
Summary
Scientific exploration and sustainable management beyond the ice edge Authors: Marit Reigstad Tor Eldevik Sebastian Gerland. To be cited as: Marit Reigstad, Tor Eldevik and Sebastian Gerland (2021) The Nansen Legacy: Scientific exploration and sustainable management beyond the ice edge. Vision: The Nansen Legacy is a novel and holistic Arctic research project that provides the integrated scientific knowledge base required for the sustainable management through the 21st century of the environment and marine resources of the Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin. The Nansen Legacy constitutes an integrated Arctic perspective on climate and ecosystem change—from physical processes to living resources and from understanding the past to predicting the future. The Nansen Legacy will result in an unprecedented scientific basis for long-term, holistic, and sustainable management of marine ecosystems and human presence in the emerging oceans of the high Arctic
