      Increasing exploration and exploitation activity in the Arctic Ocean has intensified maritime traffic in the Barents Sea. Due to the sparse population and insufficient oil spill response infrastructure on the extensive Barents Sea shoreline, it is necessary to address the possibility of offshore accidents and study hazards to the local environment and its resources. Simulations of surface oil ...
    • Impacts of offshore oil spill accidents on island bird communities: A test run study around Orkney and Svalbard archipelagos 

      Pavlov, Victor; James, Neil A.; Masden, Elizabeth A.; de Aguiar, Victor; Hole, Lars Robert; Liimatainen, Henrikki; Pongrácz, Eva (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-15)
      The sea area around the Orkney archipelago, Scotland is subjected to substantial maritime shipping activities. By contract, the Svalbard archipelago, Norway currently has a rather low marine traffic profile. Future projections, however, indicate that the Trans-Arctic route might change the whole transportation picture and Svalbard may be at the centre of maritime activities. Both archipelagos ...
