Arctic Definitions Glossary 

 

This page was a work by Arctic Studies Program students in 2006-2008. Students had the opportunity to edit and ammend the entries that were created by there predecessors.

 

In addition this page, also use other sources (e.g.BCS material). Check a few different sources to make sure that you're using trustworthy information. Many of these terms refer to general concepts or have different meanings in other contexts. Make sure that you are using them in the correct context as used in the course readings, relevant to the Arctic.
