• Climate Change and Fate of Arctic Oil Spills 

      Nordam, Tor; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Reed, Mark (Chapter, 2016-06)
      To investigate how the fate of oil released in the Arctic Ocean may change with a warmer climate, we have performed ensembles of oil spill simulations using Arctic environmental information (winds, currents, ice cover, ...
    • Impact of climate change and seasonal trends on the fate of Arctic oil spills 

      Nordam, Tor; Dunnebier, Dorien; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Reed, Mark; Slagstad, Dag (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-24)
      We investigated the effects of a warmer climate, and seasonal trends, on the fate of oil spilled in the Arctic. Three well blowout scenarios, two shipping accidents and a pipeline rupture were considered. We used ensembles ...
    • Oil Spill Contingency and Response Modelling in Ice-Covered Waters 

      Nordam, Tor; Litzler, Emma; Rønningen, Petter; Aune, Joakim; Hagelien, Thomas Fjæstad; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Brönner, Ute (Chapter, 2018)
      This paper descibes several updates to SINTEFs Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR) model, which have significantly improved th emodelling of oil spills in cold and ice-covered waters. In addition to transport of ...
    • Oil spill response capabilities and technologies for ice-covered Arctic marine waters: A review of recent developments and established practices
