Desire is also based on research development events in 2007. When there is outbound from the Russian mini-submarine use and stick the Russian flag in the region.
New era of sea formed by melting ice in the Arctic is also an important concern. Thus, the vast marine territory of both countries could grow and thus require basic scientific knowledge of the results of research activities.
"Sea Border United States and Canada has become quite valuable decision," said marine geophysicist at the United States of Geological Survey, Jonathan Childs, recently. According to Childs, the importance of basic mapping Beafourt Sea was also because the region is rich in petroleum resources. However, Childs stressed, the question of borders is not a field of study by scientists.
"The problem is dependent on the diplomat. The research is not to solve all existing problems," said Childs.
Mapping it really pursued as a result of scientific collaboration among scientists. Cooperation that do not view the political interests of each country.
This is shown by the placement of Childs in the Ship owned by Louis St-Laurent Canada. And Childs is a scientist from the United States.
Canadian-owned ship was used for breaking ice in the Arctic Sea. Research will be carried out alternately with Healy ship, owned by the United States, the greatest.
Locations that want to target is at coordinates 84 degrees North latitude. According to Childs, the location was farther north than that taken on a similar trip two years ago.
The mission was undertaken in conjunction with the loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, at least until September 2010. Known, ice cover in the Arctic Ocean on July 15, 2010 and by 16 percent lower than average data collected in 1979-2000.
"The ice in the Arctic Sea has become thinner so that more support for the course of research," said Childs.
