| Description |
To determine the lateral forces
generated by moving sea ice on artificial islands and offshore structures. This focuses on
exploration and development operations in the Beaufort, Chukchi, and Bering Seas. The
approach is to measure the effective ice stress at relatively long distances from such
islands, to measure the ice displacement simultaneously and to determine the effective
island width or structure width during ridge building events. The work is being performed
in conjunction with Projects No. 40 and 50. |
