Abstract

This article examines environmental factors typical of the Arctic regions that affect the results of thermographic studies, thereby limiting their range of application. Minor temperature deviations cause changes in radiation from the surface of the body and, thus, affect the analysis and interpretation of thermograms. What is more, to apply infrared thermography to measure the temperature of biological objects, it is necessary to understand the method’s technical and methodological features. At the same time, for research involving the local population, it is important to take into account changes in skin temperature under the influence of environmental factors. Geographically, the Arctic regions include Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Alaska and northern areas of Russia where cold climate prevails. Cold climate, adverse weather conditions and long winter nights are among the many factors impeding investigations in the Arctic. For physiological research, it is important to consider ambient temperature as a factor affecting the quantitative assessment of the individual characteristics of the participants and adapt the resulting knowledge to complement student training programmes. This review focuses on shivering, hypothermia, and circadian rhythms as the effects of environmental factors that may influence the use of infrared thermography for research on physiology in the Arctic.
