Journal Article
Van Dover, C., Arnaud-Haond, S., Gianni, M., Helmreich, S., Huber, J., Jaecke, A., …Yamamoto, H. (2018). Scientific rationale and international obligations for protection of active hydrothermal vent ecosystems from deep-sea mining. Marine Policy, 90, 20-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2018.01.020

There is increasing interest in mining minerals on the seabed, including seafloor massive sulfide deposits that form at hydrothermal vents. The International Seabed Authority is currently drafting a Mining Code, including environmental regulations, f...

(Un)frozen spaces: Exploring the role of sea ice in the marine socio-legal spaces of the Bering and Beaufort Seas (2017)
Journal Article
Shake, K., Frey, K., Martin, D., & Steinberg, P. (2018). (Un)frozen spaces: Exploring the role of sea ice in the marine socio-legal spaces of the Bering and Beaufort Seas. Journal of Borderlands Studies, 33(2), 239-253. https://doi.org/10.1080/08865655.2017.1340847

Sea ice is a dynamic physical element of the greater Arctic marine system, one that has myriad connections to human systems on a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Changes to the spatial extent of sea ice simultaneously permits and endangers mar...

‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North (2017)
Journal Article
Steinberg, P., & Kristoffersen, B. (2017). ‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 42(4), 625-641. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12184

This paper explores how ‘ice’ is woven into the spaces and practices of the state in Norway and Canada and, specifically, how representations of the sea ice edge become political agents in that process. We focus in particular on how these states have... Read More about ‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North.

Oceans and seas, Human geography (2017)
Book Chapter
Steinberg, P. E. (2017). Oceans and seas, Human geography. In D. Richardson (Ed.), International Encyclopedia of Geography: People, the Earth, Environment and Technology. Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118786352.wbieg0759

The world's oceans have attracted increasing attention from geographers since the 1990s. Post-1990 engagements with the sea by human geographers are traced through four waves, each of which has reflected and contributed to emergent foci in human geog...

Europe's ‘Others’ in the Polar Mediterranean (2016)
Journal Article
Steinberg, P. (2016). Europe's ‘Others’ in the Polar Mediterranean. Journal of Economic and Human Geography, 107(2), 177-188. https://doi.org/10.1111/tesg.12176

A large body of literature problematises the role of the Mediterranean, as both civilisational hearth and liminal frontier, in both ancient and modern Europe. However, much less attention has been directed to the inland sea at Europe's northern edge:... Read More about Europe's ‘Others’ in the Polar Mediterranean.
