ICEBERG RISK TO SEABED INSTALLATIONS ON THE GRAND BANKS
Nine icebergs were reported to have grounded on the northeastern Grand Banks during the year 2000 ice season. Documentation of possible groundings provides a basis for planning seabed scour surveys and thus the ability to study the degradation of scours over time,knowing the exact date of scour crea...
