There is an increasing need to construct engineering structures in the Arctic sea. The
requirement is principally generated by the oil and gas industry, because of the substantial …

A review of the morphological properties of over 300 full-scale floating first-year sea ice
ridges has been made, including measurements from 1971 until the present time. Ridges …

This paper provides the details of ice loading events that can be used to further the
understanding of pack ice driving forces in the Beaufort Sea. Several methods have been …

During three expeditions in March 2011, March 2012 and April/May 2013 with the
Norwegian coastguard vessel “KV Svalbard”, two pressure ridges around Svalbard, one …

The article describes a complex approach to the study of ice ridges and stamukhi, including
methods: water thermal drilling, total station and sonar surveys, video filming with help of a …

The article features a mathematical model of wind drift of an ice field, which makes it
possible to estimate the drift speed depending on the wind speed and size of the ice field, as …

Ice gouging (or scouring) events affect the seafloor in a way that needs to be understood
prior to determining safe and cost-effective burial depths of subsea pipelines in cold oceans …

Snow is a crucial element of the sea ice system, affecting the sea ice growth and decay due
to its low thermal conductivity and high albedo. Despite its importance, present-day climate …

This article contains the analytical model of the drift of a separate ice field under the action of
wind and current, in which velocities and directions can vary over time. The model takes into …

The variability of ice thickness in the Barents Sea is poorly described, with irregular import
events of deformed ice intrusions with strong spatial and temporal variability. In contrast, the …
