Barents Sea Oil and Gas 2025: Three Scenarios
(Chapter, 2015)What are some of the possible futures for Barents Sea oil and gas? This chapter draws upon the key trends and issues covered by the book’s thematic chapters and presents three scenarios on the prospects for Norwegian–Russian ... -
Coastal Erosion Due to Decreased Ice Coverage, Associated Increased Wave Action, and Permafrost Melting
(Chapter, 2018-11)It is broadly recognized that the Arctic area has become highly popular for hosting new activities and new infrastructure. This is due to the combination of the need of exploring new areas to satisfy the ever increased ... -
FPIC and geoengineering in the future of Scandinavia
(Chapter, 2023-05)This chapter focuses on procedural and intergenerational justice within the context of solar radiation management and ice-geoengineering in the Arctic. Research has framed geoengineering as an option to avoid the more ... -
Identifying challenges facing reliable supply chains and ways to mitigate then for mining in the Baffin Bay region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There are substantial economic opportunities in extracting minerals in the Arctic region. However, it has proven difficult for operators to ensure reliable supply chains (SCs) north of the Arctic Circle. This paper uses a ... -
Implementation of the Polar Code: Functional Requirements Regulating Ship Operations in Polar Waters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08)In 2017, the The International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code) – a set of function-based regulations applicable to Arctic and Antarctic waters, with the goal of increasing awareness and improving ... -
Implementing an uncertainty-based risk conceptualisation in the context of environmental risk assessment, with emphasis on the bias of uncertain assumptions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)Environmental risk assessments are routinely carried out in the Norwegian petroleum industry. As this industry is moving north, towards the Arctic and into areas with differing vulnerabilities and new risk sources compared ... -
Managing business continuity in the Arctic: Experiences from mining
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This article presents a model for business continuity capacity, which shows how organizations can analyze possible gaps in their business continuity capability and thereby increase their capacity to recover value-adding ... -
Old Sea, New Ice: sea ice geoengineering and indigenous rights in Arctic Ocean governance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This comprehensive paper explores the complex interplay between Arctic sea ice governance, geoengineering, and the rights of Indigenous peoples. It raises critical questions about the feasibility of regulating potential ... -
Operational reliability study of ice loads acting on oil tanker bow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04)As a result of climate change, the Arctic glaciers start to melt, and the summer season arrives, making it acceptable for trade ships. There is still shattered ice in the saltwater even though the Arctic glaciers melt in ... -
The Polar Code's Implications for Safe Ship Operations in the Arctic Region.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)ABSTRACT: Simultaneously with a decreasing sea ice cover in the Arctic region an increase in ship traffic is experienced in these waters, meaning a higher probability of accidents and incidents to occur. The capability to ... -
Problem and models of multicriteria decision making and risk assessment of the arctic offshore oil and gas field development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The article is devoted to the systematic solution of problems of multi-criteria assessment and the possibility of implementing projects for the development of hydrocarbon deposits on the Arctic shelf under conditions of ... -
Stability of Vessels in an Ice-free Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)One consequence of the declining ice cover in the Arctic is increased areas of open seas. These new open sea areas lead to some challenging aspects related to ship stability. Longer fetch lengths, associated with build-up ... -
Time to Rescue for Different Paths to Survival Following a Marine Incident
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12)The time required for rescue is a critical factor for surviving a marine incident. The regulatory framework, International Maritime Organization (IMO) Polar Code, utilizes a risk-based approach. It states that the vessel ... -
Use of simulator training to mitigate risks in arctic shipping operations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Over the recent years, ship traffic in the polar areas has increased. There is reason to believe that this traffic, and especially the cruise traffic, will increase further as the ice retracts towards the poles. There is ...
