Creation of a GIS based Case Study Collection for Marine Accidents and Exercises in the Arctic
Arctic sea ice has been experiencing a steady decline in its minimum extent, primarily occurring in September each year, with a current rate of shrinkage at 12% per decade. This diminishing sea ice has facilitated increased accessibility for vessels in the Arctic Ocean, resulting in a surge in ship...
