Description:
Satellite-based records from 1 September 2009 through 31 December 2018 reveal increasing maritime ship traffic, with pronounced seasonality, within all Law of the Sea zones north of the Arctic Circle. Arctic maritime ship traffic is increasing as sea ice is diminishing, representing the 'ship-ice hypothesis' to test over diverse time and space scales in view of socioeconomic impacts and the dynamics of natural systems. Maritime ship traffic into the Central Arctic Ocean High Seas predominates from the Pacific sector through the Bering Strait and Beaufort Sea, as revealed by ship types, sizes, and flag states from 2009-18 with complementary satellite-observed increases in the Bering Sea from 2015 to 2020.
