Analysis of oil spill strategies in the Canadian Beaufort Sea
The objective of this study is to apply historical data on ice concentration, temperature, sea level, salinity and wind speed to an evaluation of the effectiveness of oil spill responses in various seasons and regions. Keeping operations safe on ice is critical to Arctic exploration and production....
