Effect of global warming on Arctic coastal and offshore engineering / Ben C. Gerwick, Jr.
Title: | Effect of global warming on Arctic coastal and offshore engineering / Ben C. Gerwick, Jr. |
Author(s): | Gerwick, Ben C., |
Date: | 1990. |
In: | Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. (1990.), Vol. 4(1) (1990) |
Abstract: | Predicts and qualitatively evaluates likely effects such as rising sea levels, shrinking polar ice pack, increasing wave action, degrading coastal permafrost and consequent flooding of low-lying areas. Also, possible beneficial effects such as greater ease of longshore navigation and offshore construction. |
Notes: | Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. Vol. 4(1) :1-5 (1990). |
Keywords: | 551.588 -- Climate, effect of man and environment. 556 -- Hydrology. 551.579.4 -- Surface water fluctuations. 624 -- Engineering, civil and structural. M -- Engineering and construction. (*3) -- Arctic regions. (*60) -- Arctic Ocean and adjacent waters. |
