Information Collecting

Abstract. The World Ocean Database (WOD) contains over 1.3 million oceanographic casts collected in the Arctic Ocean basin and its surrounding marginal seas. The data come from many submitters and countries, and were collected using a variety of instruments and platforms. These data, along with the derived products World Ocean Atlas (WOA) and the Arctic Regional Climatologies, are uniquely useful – the data are presented in a standardized, easy to use format and include metadata and quality control information. Collecting data in the Arctic Ocean is challenging, and coverage in space and time ranges from excellent to nearly non-existent. WOD has compiled the most complete collection of Arctic Ocean profile data, ideal for oceanographic, environmental and climatic analyses (https://doi.org/10.7289/V54Q7S16).

Abstract. The World Ocean Database (WOD) contains over 1.3 million oceanographic casts (where cast refers to an oceanographic profile or set of profiles collected concurrently at more than one depth between the ocean surface and ocean bottom) collected in the Arctic Ocean basin and its surrounding marginal seas. The data, collected from 1849 to the present, come from many submitters and countries, and were collected using a variety of instruments and platforms. These data, along with the derived products World Ocean Atlas (WOA) and the Arctic Regional Climatologies, are exceptionally useful – the data are presented in a standardized, easy to use format and include metadata and quality control information. Collecting data in the Arctic Ocean is challenging, and coverage in space and time ranges from excellent to nearly non-existent. WOD continues to compile a comprehensive collection of Arctic Ocean profile data, ideal for oceanographic, environmental and climatic analyses (https://doi.org/10.7289/V54Q7S16).

The marine molluscan fauna of the Prince Creek Formation near Ocean Point, northern Alaska, is of Danian age. It is the only diverse and abundant Danian molluscan fauna known from the Arctic Ocean realm, and is the first evidence for an indigenous Paleocene shallow-water biota within a discrete Arctic Ocean Basin faunal province.A high percentage of endemic species, and two endemic genera, emphasize the degree to which the Arctic Ocean was geographically isolated from the world ocean during the earliest Tertiary. Many of the well-preserved Ocean Point mollusks, however, also occur in Danian faunas of the North American Western Interior, the Canadian Arctic Islands, Svalbard, and northwestern Europe, and are the basis for relating this Arctic Ocean fauna to that of the Danian world ocean.The Arctic Ocean was a Danian refugium for some genera that became extinct elsewhere during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. At the same time, this nearly landlocked ocean fostered the evolution of new taxa that later in the Paleogene migrated into the world ocean by way of the northeastern Atlantic. The first Cenozoic occurrences are reported for the bivalves Integricardium (Integricardium), Oxytoma (Hypoxytoma), Placunopsis, Tancredia (Tancredia), and Tellinimera, and the oldest Cenozoic records given for the bivalves Gari (Garum), Neilo, and Yoldia (Cnesterium). Among the 25 species in the molluscan fauna are four new gastropod species, Amauropsis fetteri, Ellipsoscapha sohli, Mathilda (Fimbriatella) amundseni, and Polinices (Euspira) repenningi, two new bivalve genera, Arcticlam and Mytilon, and 15 new bivalve species, Arcticlam nanseni, Corbula (Caryocorbula) betsyae, Crenella kannoi, Cyrtodaria katieae, Gari (Garum) brouwersae, Integricardium (Integricardium) keenae, Mytilon theresae, Neilo gryci, Nucula (Nucula) micheleae, Nuculana (Jupiteria) moriyai, Oxytoma (Hypoxytoma) hargrovei, Placunopsis rothi, Tancredia (Tancredia) slavichi, Tellinimera kauffmani, and Yoldia (Cnesterium) gladenkovi.

Before And After

The survey of the main psychophysiological parameters of pilots before and after the round-the-world oceanic flight around the North pole over the Arctic ocean showed the development of fatigue and General psycho-emotional stress, which indicates some decrease in adaptability, but is not critical to limit the performance of professional duties after rest.

Целью настоящего исследования стало комплексное изучение динамики перестроек кардиореспираторной системы за время кругосветного океанического перелета вокруг Северного полюса по Северному Ледовитому океану. Методика. В исследовании приняли участие 6 человек, мужчины в возрасте от 39 до 69 лет. Перелет продолжался 6 недель и проходил на высотах до 3000 м. Оценку показателей сердечно-сосудистой системы проводили при помощи приборного комплекса «спироартериокардиоритмограф» (САКР). Результаты. Оценка динамики показателей сердечно-сосудистой системы методом САКР за время кругосветного перелёта выявила у участников экспедиции снижение стресс-индекса и минимальной длительности межсистолических интервалов. Изучение реактивности показателей сердечно-сосудистой системы при проведении нагрузочных проб показало наличие признаков изменения функционального состояния регуляторных систем. The aim of this research was a comprehensive study of the dynamics of cardio-respiratory rearrangements during the round-the-World oceanic flight around the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean. Methods. The study involved 6 men aged 39 to 69. The flight lasted for 6 weeks and took place at altitudes up to 3,000 m. Indexes of the cardiovascular system were assessed using the «spiroarteriocardiorhythmograph» (SACR) instrumental complex. Results. Assessment of the dynamics of cardiovascular indexes using the SACR method during the round-the-world flight showed decreases in the stress index and the minimum duration of inter-systolic intervals in participants of the expedition. Studying the reactivity of cardiovascular indexes during exercise tests showed signs of changes in the functional state of regulatory systems.

The Kap Washington Group of peralkaline volcanics is exposed along the coast of North Greenland at 40°W. This coastal region is intruded by numerous NNE-NW-trending dolerite dykes of alkaline affinity. The volcanics and their basic intrusive counterparts appear to be related to the initial rifting in the Arctic Ocean basin. The timing of this rifting may be supported by accurate dating of the associated volcanic activity. An improved Rb/Sr age of 64±3 million years (i.e. approximately at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary) has been determined on rhyolitic lavas collected at Kap Kane, probably near the top of the volcanic sequence. The extrusive volcanic activity probably started already in late Cretaceous time, as in­dicated by fossil plant remains, found in sediments interbedded with the lavas on Lockwood 0.
