In 2007, he was invited to Moscow for a symposium on the subject at The Russian Academy of Sciences. Since then, he has been resear-ching materials for a second edition, which will investigate the prospect of an initial 'Agreement' between the North Pacific and contingent nations to undertake a study of the viability of intermodal N-S, E-W crossings. . .Of global significance, he proposes that Russia with Norway and the USA with Canada will need to cooperate to manage the emergent inter-oceanic gateway for shipping at the Bering Strait.
