LAKRIS – Lazarevsee Krill Studie – bestimmt die Verteilungsmuster, Lebenszyklen und die Physiologie antarktischen Krills in der Lazarevsee. Eine weitere wichtige Aufgabe ist der unterstützende eisbrechende Einsatz für die zwei Transportschiffe, die Material für die neue Neumayer III Station anliefern.

    U.S.U.S. CoastCoast GuardGuard PolarPolar IceIce OperationsOperations ProgramProgram AICCAICC MarchMarch ‘04‘04 Polar Icebreaker Mission Analysis Purpose: Evaluate “national” polar icebreaking mission needs through the year 2020. Method: Contractor will gain input from various Polar Icebreaker “customers” to determine polar region mission needs and recommended systems to accomplish mission goals. Goal of Mission Analysis: A mission analysis is required as the first step in the Gov’t’s Major Acquisition Process. Since POLAR performance & reliability are declining rapidly, we need to complete this study as soon as possible. 2 Mission Analysis Details • Identify & analyze past, current & potential future polar missions through the year 2020. • Identify current capability shortfalls • Identify technological improvements that could improve mission effectiveness and efficiency. • Identify viable alternative methods of mission success • Identify & quantify polar region logistics & science support. • Identify potential icebreaker support for future NW passage or northern sea route marine operations. • Evaluate, analyze and quantify various systems that could most efficiently and effectively accomplish USCG polar region missions through the year 2020. 3 Mission Analysis Details (cont’d) • Evaluate equipment & science communication needs onboard polar icebreakers. • Evaluate USCG science personnel support and determine most viable & effective method to meet science research needs • Evaluate level of aerial asset support currently provided and needed

  • A Method for Construction of an Energy-Efficient Ice Floating Pier in the Arctic Using Hardened Ice
    E3S Web of Conferences 178, 01064 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202017801064 HSTED-2020 A method for construction of an energy-efficient ice floating pier in the Arctic using hardened ice G L Kagan1,*, L R Mukhametova2 and A Y Velsovskij1 1Department of Highways, Vologda State University, Lenina ul. 15, 160000, Russia 2Kazan State Power Engineering University, Kazan, Russia Abstract. This paper presents studies on increasing the ice strength using various additives. It is indicated that addition of wood fiber (artificial composition) and vegetable fiber (natural composition - frozen peat) to ice is an energy-efficient method to increase its strength. This enhances the possibilities of using ice during building and construction works in the Arctic. As an example, the authors proposed a floating ice pier design. 1 Introduction Today this material finds its application in construction.
