The implementation of Arctic ice management: Counteracting the annual Arctic sea ice loss by distributing sea water on top of sea ice

The Arctic is warming more rapidly than other latitudes, which can result in the release of additional greenhouse gasses, global sea level rise and increase in extreme weather events. Additionally, this causes the rapid decline of sea ice and an ice free Arctic might occur during the summer in the 2040s. The decreasing sea...

Theoretical Study of Stick-Slip Behaviour in Ice-Structure Interaction

Structures built in lakes and rivers or at sea are under huge forces induced by ice. These cause friction at the ice-structure interface that may pose a threat to the structural integrity of the construction. For the detailed design and realisation of structures in such regions an understanding is required of this friction process. The friction...

The influence of ice jams on ice-induced vibrations of multi-legged sub-structures

The world is transforming its energy production towards more sustainable sources of energy. In Europe, there is currently 25 GW of installed offshore wind power capacity. This is expected to grow with 29 GW over the next five years. Offshore wind farms can be expensive and challenging to build, design and maintain....
