Download or read book Field Techniques for Sea Ice Research written by Hajo Eicken and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As much as one-tenth of the world’s oceans are covered with sea ice, or frozen ocean water, at some point during the annual cycle. Sea ice thus plays an important, often defining, role in the natural environment and the global climate system. This book is a global look at the changes in sea ice and the tools and techniques used to measure and record those changes. The first comprehensive research done on sea-ice field techniques, this volume will be indispensable for the study of northern sea ice and a must-have for scientists in the field of climate change research.

This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction. BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BP) plans to produce crude oils from the Northstar Unit, which is located between 2 and 8 miles (3.2 and 12.9 kilometers) offshore from Point Storkersen, just northwest of Prudhoe Bay. The Northstar island is to built on the remnants of Seal Island, an artificial island constructed in 1982, used for exploration drilling during the 1980s and subsequently abandoned. ... In August 1998, BP submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) an application for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to authorize potential unintentional non-lethal "takes" of whales and seals during Northstar construction activities from December 1998 through to December 1999. Monitoring is one of the requirements of an IHA. BP's Application included an outline of the marine mammal and acoustical monitoring work proposed by BP. Four monitoring tasks were planned during the winter-spring period: 1. continue a "Before-After/Control-Impact (BACI)" study on ringed seal distribution and abundance, as documented by fixed-wing aerial surveys during spring ...; 2. conduct on-ice searches for ringed seal lairs in areas where construction activities were initiated after 20 March 1999, the approximate onset of the ringed seal pupping period; 3. conduct a late winter helicopter survey and assessment of abandonment rates for seal holes; and 4. conduct acoustic and vibration measurements to document levels, characteristics, and transmission of sounds created by gravel hauling and new ice-road construction. ... Ice Road Construction, 1999. Two ice roads were built between early January and early April 1999. The main ice road was built from the Kuparuk River gravel mine site to Seal Island. An alternate road was built parallel to and west of the northern portion of the main road, starting at a planned gravel reload area ~7 km (4.3 mi) southwest of Seal Island and extending northeast to Seal Island. ... Searches for ringed seal breathing holes and lairs ... were conducted in all areas of planned construction where water depths were greater than 1.5 m (5 ft). No construction activities began until the on-ice surveys confirmed the absence of ringed seal breathing holes of lairs in the planned construction areas and a 152 m (500 ft) buffer zone on each side"--ASTIS database.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume follows up and expands on an earlier National Academy of Sciences book. It is the result of an intensive multidisciplinary effort to assess the problems relating to petroleum-derived hydrocarbons in the marine environment. Specifically, it examines the inputs, analytical methods, fates, and effects of petroleum in the marine environment. The section on effects has been expanded significantly, reflecting the extensive scientific effort put forth in determining the effects of petroleum on marine organisms. Other topics discussed include petroleum contamination in specific geographical areas, the potential hazards of this contamination to human health, the impact of oil-related activities in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and the potential impact of petroleum on fisheries.
