Summary and conclusions. . 330 $aThis book analyses the current and future viability of the Northern Sea Route as a stable transport route for the international transit traffic between Europe and the Far East. It includes the present conditions, defining and evaluating viability factors for using the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The book makes a projection for NSR in the future, taking into account the climatic change in the Arctic findings presented in the IPCC report. This study, based on the author?s PhD thesis, analyses meteorological, hydrologic, bathymetric and other data for the evaluation of the navigation criteria. It is intended for a wide spectrum of readers, from students and scientists of Earth sciences and polar geography, navigation, political science researchers and politicians interested in Arctic affairs. 606 $aPolar regions 606 $aTransportation engineering 606 $aTraffic engineering 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aPolar Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16020 606 $aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23120 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 615 0$aPolar regions. 615 0$aTransportation engineering. 615 0$aTraffic engineering. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 14$aPolar Geography. 615 24$aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 676 $a919.8 700 $aPastusiak$b Tadeusz$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0917415 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254132103321 996 $aThe Northern Sea Route as a Shipping Lane$92509416 997 $aUNINA
