Description
The purpose of this joint industry project is to build a database of Ice Island and/or extreme ice feature motions, trajectories, and physical changes as they travel from the high arctic into the Beaufort Sea. Having this information will allow a better determination of the risks involved in putting a structure in the Beaufort Sea in different locations. Results from this project will also be compared with Ice Island and extreme ice feature information collected in the 1970s and 80s.
Latest progress update
The Original scope of the contract has been fulfilled. The JIP members have decided to extend the project for another year.
