The Arctic is often portrayed as being isolated, but the reality is
that the connectivity with the rest of the planet is huge, be it
through weather patterns, global ocean circulation, and large-scale
migration patterns to name but a few. There is a huge amount of
public interest in the 'changing Arctic', especially in terms of
the rapid changes taking place in ecosystems and exploitation of
resources. There can be no doubt that the Arctic is at the
forefront of the international environmental science agenda, both
from a scientific aspect, and also from a policy/environmental
management perspective. This book aims to stimulate a wide audience
to think about the Arctic by highlighting the remarkable breadth of
what it means to study its ecology. Arctic Ecology seeks to
systematically introduce the diverse array of ecologies within the
Arctic region. As the Arctic rapidly changes, understanding the
fundamental ecology underpinning the Arctic is paramount to
understanding the consequences of what such change will inevitably
bring about. Arctic Ecology is designed to provide graduate
students of environmental science, ecology and climate change with
a source where Arctic ecology is addressed specifically, with
issues due to climate change clearly discussed. It will also be of
use to policy-makers, researchers and international agencies who
are focusing on ecological issues and effects of global climate
change in the Arctic. About the Editor David N. Thomas is Professor
of Arctic Ecosystem Research in the Faculty of Biological and
Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki. Previously he spent
24 years in the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, Wales.
He studies marine systems, with a particular emphasis on sea ice
and land-coast interactions in the Arctic and Southern Oceans as
well as the Baltic Sea. He also edited a related book: Sea Ice, 3rd
Edition (2017), which is also published by Wiley-Blackwell.
