Oil behavior in sea ice: changes in chemical composition and resultant effect on the complex permittivity (dielectrics) and radar signature of sea ice
Within the Arctic, global warming has led to continual decreases in sea-ice extent and type. Shipping and oil exploration is, therefore, becoming increasingly more feasible, thereby increasing the potential of crude oil or fuel being spilled into the marine environment. This impending possibility ha...

Within the Arctic, global warming has led to continual decreases in sea-ice extent and type.
