Risk Factors for Construction and Exploitation of the Industrial Facilities on the Arctic Shelves: Actual Challenges and Perspective Approaches for Adequate Decisions
Abstract The bottom sedimental cover on Arctic shelves includes a layer of subaqual permafrost. There are two types of soil grounds within this layer: the conventional 4-phase frozen soils MWIG (“mineral matrix – water – ice – gas”), and the binary type SSGH (“Frozen Soil Saturated by Methane Gas-Hy...
