The Svalbard area is losing sea ice faster than any other part of the range of polar bears. A huge continental shelf area in the Barents Sea is buffering the ecosystem for now but that will end eventually & possibly suddenly.
This is the 2nd lowest area on record for this day of the year, only 2006 (168,937 sq km) was lower.

Go west! Hudson Bay polar bears are moving back towards their summering area. Polar bears wander far during winter but they're real homebodies & prefer to summer in the same area year after year. All moms with cubs now on the ice.

Free online seminar: Fitting a regression model with spatial correlation using R-INLA In this seminar, we will demonstrate the integration of a spatial correlation structure into a linear regression model using R-INLA. Please note that our focus will be strictly on the implementation process. Given the 2-hour time frame, we won't delve into the specifics of INLA itself. Nonetheless, this session will equip you with insights into both the numerical and graphical outputs generated by a regression model that incorporates spatial dependencies. Should you find the application of INLA relevant to your data, we encourage you to further explore INLA. To join, visit highstat.com and then click on Seminars. There is space for 100 people.
