Petrie, Wytse (author)Disintegration of Antarctic ice shelves can induce devastated consequences for the environment and human infrastructure in the form of an increase of the global mean sea level. One of the causes of an ice shelf break down is hydrofracturing due to the mass load of supraglacial lakes. The top of the snowpack melts and the meltwater flows to a...master thesis 2022

van der Stap, Florian (author)The increasing popularity of offshore wind as a result of the demand for renewable energy, forces the industry to consider the development of wind farms in sub-arctic areas. One of these areas is the Baltic Sea, where the potential for wind energy is very large, but which is also prone to the occurrence of ice. For the design of offshore...master thesis 2022

Tagliacarne, Filippo (author)Crater counting is the main method used to determine the age of a planetary surface. This method relies on knowing the cratering rate to estimate the absolute age of a surface. However, two theories currently exist for impact cratering of the moons in the Saturnian system, one suggesting that the majority of the impactors are of heliocentric...master thesis 2022

Sklavenitis, Stavros (author)The Cassini spacecraft, observing the Saturnian system for over 13 years, discovered aspects of the planetary system that were previously unseen. One such discovery is the eruption of geysers (plumes) from the Tiger Stripes on the surface of the icy moon Enceladus. An unexpected liquid water ocean exists underneath Enceladus’ icy crust (Postberg...master thesis 2022

The importance of Atlantic Water pathways for understanding glacier discharge in Northwest Greenlandvan Hell, Marije (author)It is well known that warming of deep Atlantic Water in recent decades resulted in extensive retreat of marine terminating glaciers in Northwest Greenland and increased their discharge, which contributed significantly to sea level rise. Here we use data and model resources over a wide range of space and timescales to determine how the pathways...master thesis 2022

Finck, Sean (author)Of the four Galilean satellites the only one without ice is Io. While it is possible that Io never contained any ice the starting point of this research work is an icy Io. As present-day Io does not contain any ice, icy Io must have lost its ice through some sort of ice loss mechanism. In this work the assumed ice loss mechanism is geysers...master thesis 2022

(author), Puolakka, Otto (author), Polojärvi, Arttu (author)Basin tests were performed at the Aalto Ice Tank to gather data on ice-structure action and interaction from ice failing against a vertically sided cylindrical pile. The tests were performed with a real-time hybrid test setup, which combined physical and numerical components to simulate a range of test structures in real-time. The dataset...journal article 2022

Saidmurodov, Saidkomil S. (author), Jacobsen, Stefan (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Shamsutdinova, Guzel (author)The process of ice melting during abrasive interactions with concrete is essential in a variety of contact phenomena. In this paper, we refer to abrasive tests for different samples of concrete with roughness in the range of 9–35 μm. The experimental conditions were: 1 MPa ice pressure, ambient temperature −10 °C, average sliding velocity 0–0.16...journal article 2022

In the current work, we take the premise that designers do not have enough means to address concepts of power and politics in design practice. Therefore, we elaborate upon...conference paper 2022

(author)Surface melt is an important driver of ice shelf disintegration and its consequent mass loss over the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Monitoring surface melt using satellite remote sensing can enhance our understanding of ice shelf stability. However, the sensors do not measure the actual physical process of surface melt, but rather observe the presence...journal article 2022

Tidal dissipation from free drift sea ice in the Barents Sea assessed using GNSS beacon observationsVasulkar, A.N. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Kaleschke, Lars (author)One of the major challenges facing global hydrodynamic tidal models is the modelling of the interaction between sea ice and tides in high-latitude waters. Recent studies have shown strong seasonal correlation between sea ice and tides. Hence, it is important to accurately model the effect of sea ice in a tidal model. Presence of sea ice leads...journal article 2022
