Ice island creation, drift, recurrences, mechanical properties, and interactions with arctic offshore oil production structures
Research and engineering studies on first-year sea ice for over two decades has resulted in the design, construction, and operation of jacket platforms, of artificial islands, and of massive gravity structures which routinely withstand moving sea ice of thickness up to 2 meters. However, the less-co...
