Collaborative Research: The Impacts of Arctic Storms on Landfast Ice Variations
This project is to examine a 30-year landfast ice records, cyclone tracks and intensity along with frequency and timing of coastal high wind conditions, nearshore pack ice drift, and coastal weather observations in two representative arctic coastal regions. The focus is to understand the relevant dy...
