The Arctic Ocean has been undergoing dramatic changes in recent decades. Accompanied with these changes is the release of legacy contaminants that were transported and stored in the Arctic in the past, and emerging contaminants that are associated with resource development and marine transportation. The CRC research program in Arctic Environment Chemistry will examine the critical role of a changing Arctic marine cryosphere in affecting the fate and effects of mercury, crude oil and other contaminants in the Arctic ecosystem. The results will directly inform and improve policies and practices related to Northern development and adaptation.

近几十年来，北极海一直在发生巨大变化。伴随着这些变化的是释放过去在北极运输和储存的旧污染物，以及与资源开发和海洋运输相关的新兴污染物。北极环境化学的CRC研究计划将研究北极海洋冰圈不断变化的关键作用，在影响北极生态系统中汞，原油和其他污染物的命运和影响方面。结果将直接告知和改善与北方发展和适应有关的政策和实践。
