Studying environmental changes to the seas and oceans through a variety of perspectives and disciplines, this pioneering book outlines the challenges of researching marine environmental issues.With no linear cause-and-effect relationship between marine environmental changes and the often human-induced stressors which produce them, the changes to our seas and oceans are complex and uncertain, arising from multiple and interconnected issues. Bringing together academic expertise from different fields of study, this innovative book engages with stakeholders and branches of local ecological knowledge to address marine changes, outlining how they must be studied from multiple perspectives rather than a single academic discipline to reach effective solutions. Discussing marine interdisciplinarity in action, the book features international case studies from diverse fields across the ocean sciences, humanities and social sciences that explore art and science collaborations in practice.Showcasing the practical challenges and opportunities of such research, this will prove an invigorating read for students and scholars across such subject areas as environmental governance and regulation, marine and ocean sciences, sustainability studies and climate change. Its findings will also be of use to policymakers and practitioners concerned with marine changes across the world.

This book addresses the Arctic and the northern regions by exploring cold waters and northern seascapes. It focuses on cultural discourses and artistic representations concerning the human experience and imagination of how the Arctic Ocean has been explored and used. It aims to assess what is specific to the northern waters vis-à-vis other sea and water areas in the world. The contextual background is provided by the fundamental shift from terra-based thinking towards aqua-based thinking, including the histories of the northern waters and the innovative ocean studies of the last decades.This book will be of interest to readers in Arctic studies and Sea and Ocean studies (including those with interests in literature, history, cultural and film studies, anthropology and politics), Environmental History and Cultural studies as well as in Russian studies.The book has been assembled with a view towards upper-level undergraduate and post-graduate students and scholars and will also be appropriate for courses in the fields mentioned above. The book will be of interest to specialists working in and with Arctic environmental issues. There is a broad array of international academic networks, environmental, governance and cultural associations outside academia whose members may also find the book of interest.

The sustainability of food packaging is a key priority in the food industry, as plastic waste and littering have become global concerns. Packaging waste accounts for over half of total global waste, predominantly from single-use plastic food packaging. Production of packaging consumes significant natural resources and contributes to climate change and pollution. However, packaging is also crucial for reducing food waste, protecting food safety, and providing vital information about contents, making it an essential sustainability solution, not just a problem. Sustainability Transition in Food Packaging: Systems, Actors, and Innovation explores sustainable food packaging from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating economics, environmental science, technology, social sciences and cultural studies. This broad approach expands beyond the traditional focus on packaging as a product, considering its content and the services it provides. While sustainable packaging is often defined by four principles—effectiveness, efficiency, circularity, and safety—current applications primarily focus on the packaging itself, overlooking broader impacts such as marine and soil littering. Life cycle assessments (LCA) of packaging frequently ignore social, cultural, and economic sustainability aspects and often fail to account for the diverse interpretations of LCA standards. While the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) offers a uniform solution, challenges remain due to undefined packaging category rules.Food packaging is rapidly evolving, driven by innovation, political action, and consumer demand. Given the global and varied nature of the food supply chain, one-size-fits-all solutions are insufficient. This book offers a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, fostering dialogue and research across different research fields. It examines different conceptualizations of sustainable food packaging including methods for analyzing sustainability. The volume introduces novel methodologies, such as LCA with a focus on littering, and provides insights on overcoming the challenges of transitioning to a more sustainable food packaging system.
