Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Arctic Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on September 15, 2017, and transitioned some of our coverage to Oceans Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Arctic. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].

We keep hearing about the substantial reserves of oil and gas buried beneath the seabed of the Arctic Ocean. Here are four reasons why there won’t be a run on those resources.
As the climate changes, the Arctic Ocean beckons Pacific salmon and other species from the south. What remains to be seen is whether this will benefit the Inuit or trigger an international race to exploit emerging resources in the central Arctic Ocean.

A vast pathway connecting roads, rail, pipelines, power and communications across northern Canada could bring huge benefits in trade and quality of life, says a new study. We spoke to one of its authors.
In the two years since Arctic Economic Council was founded as an offshoot of the Arctic Council, its members have been building the organization from the ground up, establishing a secretariat in Tromso, Norway, and a governance structure.
