Arctic Engineering for the Seventies: A Philosophy

Résumé

The Naval Arctic Research Lab at Barrow has been the base for productive studies of sea ice and pipelines in permafrost. It can offer the engineer a chance to do his fieldwork in the Arctic to solve challenging problems of housing design and construction, structural and power requirements, routings and oil spill difficulties of ships operating through the Northwest Passage, and basic work on physical and chemical properties of sea ice and its significance to shipping.
