This paper examines impacts of
physical and geographic settings of the Arctic seas on the directions
of the suspended substance transport within water areas. The cumulative
effect of the hydrological factors, such as current directions, with
geomorphic features of the region, e.g. the seabed bathymetry or beach
types, has strong impact on the direction of the substance distribution
within water bodies, and in turn, to biota sustainability. Additionally
to the contamination caused by anthropogenic sources, the oceanological
factors determine the risk of water pollution by chemicals. Current
research contributes towards regional studies of Arctic ocean. It
studies interrelationships of multiple factors on environmental
sustainability of the marine ecosystems.
