Abstract

Polar sciences are crucial to understand the effects of climate change. 6 out of 9 eco-tipping points identified by the IPCC are situated in the polar regions. Potential rising sea levels, altered weather patterns and changes in sea-currents are all connected to environmental change in the polar regions. Although polar science is necessary to understand climate change, like any sectoror industry, it is important to identify actions to reduce the impact of polar science on the environment. This synthesis report aims to define best practices in limiting the environmental impacts of polar research. It synthesises best practices from both polar regions on how to conduct polar research while limiting its impact.&nbsp

7. Distal records of Katla’s explosive past: Ocean-rafted pumice in raised shorelines on Varanger Peninsula, Northern Norway

Author

Zernack, A., Jørgensen, E., Romundset, A., and Newton, A.

Abstract

Ocean-rafted pumice is found on modern and paleo-beaches across the North Atlantic and elsewhere. While not as accurate as tephrochronology, ocean-rafting events can be fingerprinted to their volcanic source and used to date sedimentary records and landforms, including raised shorelines. They also provide records of large explosive eruptions that might not be preserved near the volcano due to extensive erosion or a submarine volcanic source and as such can be used for petrological and geochemical investigations.Our study focuses on the Varanger Peninsula in Norway in order to establish a detailed distal record of large silicic eruptions from Katla Volcanic Centre in Iceland. Here, strong Holocene uplift rates and sea-level changes have built a unique succession of fossil beaches up to the marine limit that are covered in little vegetation. We found that pumice was abundant on specific paleo-shorelines and in defined geomorphic settings but absent from older beach ridges, with the distinct mid-Holocene transgression high-stand accumulating the largest variety of pumice types and clast sizes. Initial EMP glass analyses of pumice samples allowed correlations with the Víkurhóll Pumice and individual or groups of SILK (silicic to intermediate Katla) tephras. Our ongoing work aims at providing further insights into the nature and frequency of Holocene silicic eruptions from Katla while also improving age control for existing relative sea-level curves. In addition, the acquired beach pumice data will be integrated with compositional information of archaeological pumice pieces from an ongoing excavation on Lofoten to contribute coarse age frameworks for this important context., The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023)

Abstract

Exposure to mercury (Hg) is a global concern, particularly among Arctic populations that rely on the consumption of marine mammals and fish which are the main route of Hg exposure for Arctic populations. The MercuNorth project was created to establish baseline Hg levels across several Arctic regions during the period preceding the Minamata Convention. Blood samples were collected from 669 pregnant women, aged 18–44 years, between 2010 and 2016 from sites across the circumpolar Arctic including Alaska (USA), Nunavik (Canada), Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Northern Lapland (Finland) and Murmansk Oblast (Russia). Descriptive statistics were calculated, multiple pairwise comparisons were made between regions, and unadjusted linear trend analyses were performed. Geometric mean concentrations of total Hg were highest in Nunavik (5.20 µg/L) and Greenland (3.79 µg/L), followed by Alaska (2.13 µg/L), with much lower concentrations observed in the other regions (ranged between 0.48 and 1.29 µg/L). In Nunavik, Alaska and Greenland, blood Hg concentrations have decreased significantly since 1992, 2000 and 2010 respectively with % annual decreases of 4.7%, 7.5% and 2.7%, respectively. These circumpolar data combined with fish and marine mammal consumption data can be used for assessing long-term Hg trends and the effectiveness of the Minamata Convention.

Abstract

The Circumpolar North has been changing rapidly within the last decades, and the socioeconomic systems of the Eurasian Arctic and Siberia in particular have displayed the most dramatic changes. Here, anthropogenic drivers of environmental change such as migration and industrialization are added to climate-induced changes in the natural environment such as permafrost thawing and increased frequency of extreme events. Understanding and adapting to both types of changes are important to local and indigenous peoples in the Arctic and for the wider global community due to transboundary connectivity. As local and indigenous peoples, decision-makers and scientists perceive changes and impacts differently and often fail to communicate efficiently to respond to changes adequately, we convened a meeting of the three groups in Salekhard in 2017. The outcomes of the meeting include perceptions of how the three groups each perceive the main issues affecting health and well-being and recommendations for working together better.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate associations among the dental status, socioeconomic factors, and general health of 1,877 subjects between the ages of 55 and 79. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Socioeconomic information (age, sex, education level) and questions on smoking and alcohol abuse were taken from an interview; income and medical information (number of diseases) were taken from a self-administered questionnaire; and HbA1C and CDT (diabetes and alcoholism markers) were taken from blood analyses. RESULTS: Of the subjects, 73% had a low education level, and 27% of the subjects had a monthly income of < 1,000 Euro and 13% of > 2,000 Euro. Twenty-six percent of the subjects were edentulous, and 29% had 20 or more teeth. The odds ratio of edentulism increased to 9.0 (95% confidence interval = 7.0-11.5) at the ages of 75 to 79 years compared to ages 55 to 79. Logistic regression analyses showed that edentulism was significantly associated with age, low education level, low income, smoking, and alcohol abuse. However, the retention of more than 20 teeth was associated with age. CONCLUSIONS: Age, low income, low education level, smoking, and alcohol abuse seemed to be risk markers for edentulism; whereas, the number of diseases, diabetes, and gender were not.

Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate associations among prosthetic status, socioeconomic factors, and general health of subjects aged 55 to 79 years. The data were taken from the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Socioeconomic information (age, sex, education level), medical information (number of diseases), and details on smoking and alcohol consumption were obtained. Prosthetic status in the maxilla and mandible was classified into complete denture (CD), removable partial denture (RPD), > or = 10 natural teeth or teeth replaced with fixed prosthodontics (10T+), and < or = nine natural teeth including fixed prosthodontics (9T-). RESULTS: The data of 1,877 subjects were evaluated. CDs in the maxilla were more frequent than in the mandible. RPDs were more frequent in the mandible and in the group aged 65 to 74 years. Of the individuals with a low education level, 47% had a CD in the maxilla, and only 21% had 10T+. However, of subjects with a high education level, 22% had a CD in the maxilla, and 54% had 10T+. The odds ratio of having a CD in the maxilla increased to 11.9 at the age of 75 to 79 years, compared to 0.6 at the age of 55 to 59 years. Logistic regression analyses showed that the risk of wearing a CD was significantly associated with old age, low education level, low income, smoking, and alcohol abuse, whereas the number of diseases (used as an indicator of general health) was not. CONCLUSION: Alcohol abuse, smoking, low education level, low income, and old age were significant predictors of wearing CDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
