handle is hein.journals/reel20 and id is 1 raw text is: RECIEL 20 (1) 2011. ISSN 0962 8797 Editorial On 21 January 2011, Annette Bruno passed away. Annette was an integral part of RECIEL, serving as copy editor for over ten years. She provided irreplaceable leadership, consistency and zeal and was the journal's backbone. Her passing is a horrible shock. Her presence is utterly missed. Annette was a remarkably vibrant, warm and positive person. She studied physics at Bristol University and then worked at the United Kingdom Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs before taking on duties with RECIEL. She had a passion for sports and the outdoors and would often describe her thrilling adventures hiking, skiing or whitewater kayaking to the envy of all listeners. She had inspiring energy, enthusi- asm and strength, and wonderful love for, and devotion to, her three young children. In early 2009, Annette was diagnosed with breast cancer. For months, she underwent treatment and successfully fought the disease. To everyone's relief, by October 2010, it appeared that the cancer had gone. But in late December 2010, her health worsened. The breast cancer had travelled to her brain and she had a tumour. The doctors tried to operate but the tumour was too advanced and vigorous. Annette died on Friday, 21 January. Tragically, she leaves behind three children under the age of 7. Donations in memory of Annette may be made to Breast Cancer Care (UK registered charity no. 1017658) and the Willow Foundation (UK registered charity no. 1106746). If you can donate, please do; and please mention that the donation is in Annette's memory. Regarding this issue of RECIEL, it focuses on the environmental law implications of development in the Arctic. With climatic and other unprecedented envi- ronmental changes already being experienced and expected to grow in the Far North, increased access to and impacts on the natural resources of this region are inevitable. These changes will significantly effect the peoples who live there. Access to fisheries, oil and gas, minerals, and other resources will change the eco- nomic, social and environmental context of the region and have significant impacts. As reflected in the follow- ing pages, the challenges that these impacts bring may require significant changes in the structure and com- prehensiveness of environmental laws and policies addressing the region. Before examining impacts, however, it is important to consider the underlying causes of some of the climatic and environmental changes that are occurring. Bob Watson and Erika Rosenthal argue in their article that one of the chief causes of environmental changes in the Arctic is the often overlooked problem of black carbon emissions. Black carbon is a component of fine particu- late matter that has a short atmospheric residence time, @ 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Maiden, MA 02148, USA. 1
