A low-cost coastal buoy for ice and metocean measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Regionally, an ice cover in fjords of mainland Norway may form and break up repeatedly during winter. Due to relatively high water temperatures, the freeze-up process is expected to be related to freshwater-induced ... -
Crude oil migration in sea-ice: Laboratory studies of constraints on oil mobilization and seasonal evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Rising Arctic maritime activities and hydrocarbon development increase the risk of an oil spill in and under Arctic sea-ice. Oil spilled under growing sea ice would be encapsulated within the ice cover. During spring and ... -
Effect of Oil Pollution and Ice Formation on Microbial Community of Seawater from Ofotfjorden, Norway
(Chapter, 2018)Oil spill in ice-covered waters can become entrapped in sea ice and may be subjected to biodegradation by sea ice microorganisms. The extent of the hydrocarbon biodegradation, and microorganisms involved in such process ... -
Experimental and Micro-CT study on the Oil Distribution in laboratory grown Sea Ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Increasing activities in Arctic waters bare a risk of oil spills under ice-covered conditions and afford sound understanding of the interplay between sea ice and oil. Towards better knowledge, this study focuses on X-ray- ... -
In situ field measurements of the temporal evolution of low-frequency sea-ice dielectric properties in relation to temperature, salinity, and microstructure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The seasonal evolution of sea-ice microstructure controls key ice properties, including those governing ocean– atmosphere heat and gas exchange, remote-sensing signatures, and the role of the ice cover as a habitat. ... -
The Entrainment and Migration of Crude Oil in Sea Ice, the Use of Vegetable Oil as a Substitute, and Other Lessons from Laboratory Experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Understanding the interaction between oil and sea ice is essential in the development of oil spill detection and response technology in the Arctic. Laboratory experiments were performed to examine oil migration in sea ice ...
