This thesis is submitted in the partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Oslo. It represents work that has been carried out between 2015 and 2018, under the supervision of Pr. Atle Jensen, Dr. Graig Sutherland, and Dr. Kai H. Christensen, in collaboration with Pr. Aleksey Marchenko and Pr. Brian Ward. The work presented was carried at the University of Oslo and the University Center in Svalbard. Financial support for the work was provided by the Norwegian Research Council under the Petromaks 2 scheme, through the project WOICE (Experiments on Waves in Oil and Ice), NFR Grant number 233901. The thesis consists of an introduction, and a selection of 7 publications. The introduction presents the scientific context in which the work was undertaken, the methodology used, the results obtained, as well as some personal thoughts about unsuccessful directions encountered during the project and possible future work. I certify that this dissertation is mine and that the results presented are the result of the work of our research group, to which I brought significant contribution.
