Understanding lagoon behavior is crucial for both scientific research and engineering, especially in delicate Arctic environments. Lagoons are vital to coastal areas, often bol-stering infrastructure resilience. Since Spring 2019, we've monitored the Longyearbyen (Spitsbergen), erosion defense serving as a natural laboratory. The location's well-developed accessible logistics make it an ideal testing site available at any time. It can be used many studies. Spanning 400x50m,...
The sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk significantly last decades.The transport pattern as a result partly changed with more traffic remote areas.This change may influence on risk pattern.The critical factors are harsh weather, conditions, remoteness and vulnerability of nature.In this paper, we look into accidents Atlantic based previous ship changes maritime activity.The to be assessed ensure proper level emergency response.The consequences incidents depend incident type, scale location.As...
It is well-known that navigating the waterway from primary trade hubs in northern Europe to Asia-Pacific ports and contrariwise along Russian Arctic Coast (Northern Sea Route - NSR) much shorter faster, than southern ways via Suez or around Africa. The NSR can significantly save costs (through saving time fuel) avoids risk of attack by pirates. In addition, an increase oil gas activity North, forecasts global warming ice-free have stimulated interest navigation. However, transportation poses...
The 5 Russian Arctic Seas have common features, but differ significantly from each other in the sea ice regime and navigation specifics. Navigation is a big challenge, especially during winter season. However, it necessary, due to limited natural resources elsewhere on Earth that may be easier for exploitation. Therefore an important issue future development. We foresee become free summer as result of global warming even light yachts will able pass through Eastern Passage. There been several...
We analyze seawater temperature and salinity in the immediate vicinity of Paulbreen front Spitsbergen. The CTD-measurements were carried out from ice winter a boat summer. ADCP profiling was performed near glacier winter. In winter, we found water with lower than surrounding fjord at distance 15 m recorded low upward flux glacier. Relatively fresh depth 2-4 place where sea bed have local depression up to 17 m. Supercooling freshened reached 0.35°C. link this phenomenon flow freshwater under...
Changes in the masses of icebergs due to deterioration processes affect drift and should be taken into account when assessing iceberg risks areas offshore development. In 2022 2023, eight laboratory experiments were carried out wave tank University Centre Svalbard study melting sea water under calm rough conditions. experiments, temperatures varied from 0 ℃ 2.2 ℃. Cylindrical models made columnar ice cores with a diameter 24 cm. one experiment, model was protected on sides plastic fencing...
