Centre for Arctic Resource Development tackles priorities in ice research

摘要

Fifteen full-time researchers at the Centre for Arctic Resource Development (CARD) in St John's, Newfoundland, Canada, are engaged in five R&D projects to address the challenges inherent in developing oil and gas projects in ice- and iceberg-prone regions. Focused on ice mechanics, station-keeping in ice and ice management, the four- and five-year projects address priorities identified in CARD's Arctic Development Roadmap, a gap analysis that was designed to address Arctic challenges over a five- to 20-year time horizon.
