Book Synopsis Breaking Ice for Arctic Oil by : Ross Coen
Download or read book Breaking Ice for Arctic Oil written by Ross Coen and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, an icebreaking tanker, the SS Manhattan, was commissioned by Humble Oil to transit the Northwest Passage in order to test the logistical and economic feasibility of an all-marine transportation system for Alaska North Slope crude oil. Proposed as an alternative to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the Manhattan made two voyages to the North American Arctic and collected volumes of scientific data on ice conditions and the behavior of ships in ice. Although the Manhattan successfully navigated the Northwest Passage—closing a five-hundred-year chapter of Arctic exploration by becoming the first commercial vessel to do so—the expedition ultimately demonstrated the impracticality of moving crude oil using icebreaking ships. Breaking Ice for Arctic Oil details this historic voyage, establishing its significant impact on the future of marine traffic and resource development in the Arctic and setting the stage for the current oil crisis.
Book Synopsis Breaking the Ice by : Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon
Download or read book Breaking the Ice written by Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hill Times: Best Books of 2017 The Arctic seabed, with its vast quantities of undiscovered resources, is the twenty-first century’s frontier. In Breaking the Ice: Canada, Sovereignty and the Arctic Extended Continental Shelf, Arctic policy expert Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon examines the political, legal, and scientific aspects of Canada’s efforts to delineate its Arctic extended continental shelf. The quality and quantity of the data collected and analyzed by the scientists and legal experts preparing Canada’s Arctic Submission for the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, and the extensive collaboration with Canada’s Arctic neighbours is a good news story in Canadian foreign policy. As Arctic sovereignty continues to be a key concern for Canada and as the international legal regime is being observed by all five Arctic coastal states, it is crucial to continue to advance our understanding of the complex issues around this expanding area of national interest.

Book Synopsis Breaking the Ice by : Tony Armstrong
Download or read book Breaking the Ice written by Tony Armstrong and published by US Institute of Peace Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking an in-depth look at cases of the two Germanys, the United States and China, and Israel and Egypt, Armstrong examines why initiatives by Brandt, Nixon/Carter and Mao, and Sadat and Begin succeeded where previous attempts at rapprochement had failed.The book looks first at the available theory and then at rapprochemnet in practice. Were there, the author asks, similarities between the three cases in terms of the prevailing international circumstances, the strategies and tactics adopted in the pursuit of improved relations, and the formal negotiations that ushered in the new relationships? Armstrong concludes that some underlying principles did indeed govern the shift from mutual antagonism to mutual acceptance--principles that may apply equally in today's post-Cold War world.
Book Synopsis Level Ice Breaking by a Simple Wedge by : Jean-Claude Tatinclaux
Download or read book Level Ice Breaking by a Simple Wedge written by Jean-Claude Tatinclaux and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests in level ice on an idealized icebreaker bow in the shape of a simple wedge were conducted in the test basin. The horizontal and vertical forces on the wedge were measured, and floe size distribution in the wake of the wedge was observed. From the force measurements, the ice wedge/hull friction factor was calculated and found to be in general agreement with the friction factor measured in separate friction tests. The ice floe length and ice floe area measured in the current study were found to follow log-normal probability distributions defined by the length average L and area average A and corresponding standard deviations S sub L and S sub A. The results of these tests and other tests conducted at another facility showed that the ratios A/h squared and L/h (A = average floe area, L = average floe length, h = ice thickness) were, for the same type of model ice, directly proportional to the parameter sigma/gamma h (sigma = ice bending strength, gamma = specific weight of water) and sigma/gamma h, respectively, and independent of the velocity and ice strain modulus or ice characteristic length. However, the coefficients of proportionality appear to depend upon the type of model ice used in the tests. The ratios S-sub-L/A were independent of sigma/gamma h but varied with the bow shape and the type of ice. The available field data are not sufficient for meaningful comparison with the laboratory results. (Author).
Book Synopsis 50 giochi di ice breaking. by : a cura di ADV Assessment Lab
Download or read book 50 giochi di ice breaking. written by a cura di ADV Assessment Lab and published by Edizioni FerrariSinibaldi. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I giochi Ice Breaking, letteralmente “che rompono il ghiaccio”, vengono utilizzati prevalentemente all’inizio di una sessione formativa. Sono per lo più giochi brevi che servono ad instaurare un primo rapporto tra formatore e allievi e tra i componenti del gruppo. Sono particolarmente indicati laddove la mancanza di una conoscenza pregressa tra i membri del gruppo potrebbe inibirne la spontaneità e il pieno coinvolgimento nelle attività proposte. Di fatto i giochi Icebreaking creano il clima, il mood, l’atmosfera necessaria per poi lavorare verso l’obiettivo comune attraverso un processo di progressivo coinvolgimento e partecipazione. Si caratterizzano per essere inaspettati e imprevedibili per i componenti del gruppo, che in una fase iniziale si attenderebbero presentazioni o lunghi giri di tavolo prima di addentrarsi nel vivo delle attività. Se ben condotti questi giochi forniscono un forte imprinting per l’intera giornata formativa creando quella complicità fondamentale per poter lavorare in un clima partecipativo e collaborativo. Anche se si tratta di giochi di norma brevi è bene che la scelta rispecchi nei contenuti o nella metafora dello svolgimento del giochi il motivo della riunione. Questo volume è stato realizzato con la collaborazione di ADV Assessment Lab.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing on the Chesapeake Bay's myriad inlets in summer, it is hard to imagine that come January icebreakers might be plowing the waters you cruised in July. When portions of the Great Shellfish Bay are iced up the flow of commerce is impeded. At the turn of the 19th century, with the center of the new nation's government established in its arms, a frozen Bay meant that the United States' emergence to a status on par with the foremost nations of the world might be painfully slow. Throughout the 20th century years of extreme cold continued to halt navigation and fishing. James Foster chronicles the disasters, large and small, which come with the coldest of winters.
