Burg, L. (author)Studies underscore the significant reserve potential of the Arctic region: an estimated 25 percent of potential oil and gas reserves, onshore and offshore, is believed to be located in the Northern Hemispheres Arctic region. Although these areas already have been under consideration for over 30 years, technical difficulties have put a threshold...master thesis 2007

Slobbe, D.C. (author), Ditmar, P.G. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)The focus of this paper is on the quantification of ongoing mass and volume changes over the Greenland ice sheet. For that purpose, we used elevation changes derived from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) laser altimetry mission and monthly variations of the Earth’s gravity field as observed by the Gravity Recovery and...journal article 2008

Srinath, B.N. (author)Climate change and dwindling energy resources are the driving factors behind the research being performed in the Arctic region. The climate change is being caused by an increase in the greenhouse gases and this has disturbed the natural balance. These greenhouse gases are causing the rapid retreat of the ice in the Arctic region. This spells...master thesis 2010

Haddaden, N.H.M. (author)This thesis reviews Arctic development, and industrial responses to changing climate-driven, geospatial, and economic environments. First, the optimization of trans-arctic navigation was addressed in light of the global warming impact on Arctic sea ice. In this regard, a central consideration was given to the Northern Sea Route (NSR), such that...master thesis 2010

Bos, R.W. (author), Huisman, T.J. (author), Obers, M.P.W. (author), Schaap, T. (author), Van der Zalm, M. (author)Background At the start of a design it is often good to look at comparable designs. What choices were made, what are the operations, what equipment is used? This report looks at three Damen ships, which are already capable of offshore support. These vessels are designed for open water. Looking just at what has to improve for operating in the...report 2013

Bos, R.W. (author), Huisman, T.J. (author), Obers, M.P.W. (author), Schaap, T. (author), Van der Zalm, M. (author)Background The Dutch maritime industry has only limited knowledge about Arctic engineering, in spite of a growing market and interest by the oil and gas industry. This literature survey is the first in a series of three reports to develop a concept design of an Arctic Offshore Support Vessel (AOSV). The purpose is to give a perspective on Arctic...report 2013

Bos, R.W. (author), Huisman, T.J. (author), Obers, M.P.W. (author), Schaap, T. (author), Van der Zalm, M. (author)Background To design a ship its specific design requirements are to be known. These are, together with class notations, specified in previous reports and extended in this report. Since the requirements are formed iteratively, design freedom is possible. This is used to implement several innovations into the design which improve the performance...report 2013

Liefferink, D.M. (author)This version of the thesis only covers the literature study. The results analysis and conclusion of the thesis are confidential. Pipelines in arctic waters are at risk of being damaged by gouging ice masses. To protect these pipelines, they can be buried in trenches. When trenching in arctic clayey soil, sub sea permafrost can be encountered....master thesis 2013

Bergsma, J.G. (author)The thesis aims to find the changes in design and execution to immersed tunnels in subarctic regions. The Orlovsky Tunnel in St. Petersburg serves as a case study. The Orlovsky tunnel is a 1600 m tunnel in a rapid flowing river. the ice regime of the Neva River is characterized by frazil ice, which causes hanging ice jams and anchor ice....master thesis 2013

Tijsen, J.N.W. (author)Concrete structures in marine environments subject to sea ice interaction are at risk of erosion and damage. Industry is interested in characterizing the ice abrasion phenomenon so that abrasion risk can be managed. The experiments conducted in this work have an exploratory character in order to identify the abrasion phenomenon and qualitatively...master thesis 2015

Vogelij, N.A.M. (author)The stick-slip effect is a quasi-static effect that can occur with every mass-spring system that is subjected to significant amount of friction forces. It is based on the difference between the static and kinetic friction coefficient. If the relative velocity between two objects is zero, the sliding object will normally encounter a larger...master thesis 2015

Giamarelou, Maria (author), Eleftheriadis, Konstantinos (author), Nyeki, Stephan (author), Tunved, Peter (author), Torseth, Kjetil (author), Biskos, G. (author)Previous long-term observations have shown that nanoparticle formation events are common in the summer-time high Arctic and linked to local photochemical activity. However, current knowledge is limited with respect to the chemical precursors of resulting nanoparticles and the compounds involved in their subsequent growth. Here we report case...journal article 2016

Balkema, E. (author)Drilling in the complex and rough conditions in the Arctic areas is challenging. The challenges include harsh environmental conditions, spill recovery, high operating cost, relatively high risk, limited choice of drilling units, international (environmental) laws/regulations etc. The existence of recoverable oil and gas resources have been known...master thesis 2016

Schulz, A. (author)The sea level determination in the Arctic brings challenges with it, due to its high seasonality, varying surface types and scarce in-situ observations. By developing a year round retracker system with an implementation of a bias removal strategy, the Arctic sea level determination is improved. Through the analysis of the seasonal performance of...master thesis 2016

Motzheim, R.T. (author)To protect pipelines in Arctic regions they are often buried in trenches, effectively preventing damage by ice gouging. When trenching is performed in Arctic soil, subsea permafrost may be encountered at water depths up to 100 m, mainlywhile excavating clay soil. Frozen clay is an anisotropic inhomogeneous material with a tensile strength and...master thesis 2016

Willems, T. (author)The offshore wind industry is growing at high pace and is already one of the major renewable energy sources in Europe. To support this growth, costs must be further decreased, amongst others by efficiently designing the support structure of the offshore wind turbines (OWT). This requires accurate prediction of environmental loading such as...master thesis 2016

Michailidou, E. (author)Today’s climate warming is unequivocal. Evidence from observations and satellite records show that Arctic Ocean is losing its summer sea ice cover with a rapid pace and is dominated by young and thinner ice. The ice loss has already caused heating of the overlying atmosphere. At the same time, the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) surface mass balance...student report 2017
