Modelling the spread of oil under fast sea ice using three-dimensional multibeam sonar data
International audience [1] A substantial portion of the world's remaining oil and gas reserves are found in the Arctic. Exploration pressure will intensify as sea ice thinning and retreat continue, and the subsequent production could involve spills or blowouts under various kinds of sea ice. Ex...

International audience [1] A substantial portion of the world's remaining oil and gas reserves are found in the Arctic.

Existing models for the spread of oil under ice are inadequate because they are unable to replicate the complexity or uniqueness of different ice regimes. Through the novel combination of 3- D under-ice imagery from an autonomous under water vehicle ( AUV) and oil- trajectory modelling we demonstrate that it is possible to overcome these deficiencies.
