Mathematical model for the dynamics of radionuclides, heavy metals, and petroleum hydrocarbons in the Arctic basin

This paper discusses a mathematical model for the dynamics of pollution in the Arctic basin, considering spatial non-uniformities in the distribution of ecological and hydrodynamic parameters. The model features blocks simulating contaminant fluxes through the tropic chains. The results of numerical experiments are provided which demonstrate the model's capability to predict and assess the dynamics of heavy metals, radionuclides, and petroleum hydrocarbons in the Arctic basin. The model is adaptable to a global model. Climatic phenomena and anthropogenic forcing are described in the form of scenarios.
