This study assessed the current state of offshore technology in arctic and sub-arctic regions. The results of this assessment were used to provide insight and guidance into existing/future exploration and development technologies that might be applied on the US OCS, in particular ...
The quantitative approach includes four steps, namely, accident scenario modeling by an event tree model, probability and dependence analysis of the associated intermediate events, risk assessment with respect to the consequent outcome events. A major ship accident in Arctic waters - ships stuck in ...

A perennial problem is disagreement between bottom-up and top-down estimates of Arctic carbon budgets. The AMAP Assessment of Arctic Methane ([110], Chapter 6) found that published estimates of emissions for various natural sources totaled over 70 TgCH4/year, almost three times top-down estimates...

Assessment is developed as a two stage process using productivity-susceptibility analysis and life history invariant models to determine the maximum sustainable production. The resulting analytical model can but updated through further ecological observations from the community and field sampling. The ...
