Main publication details
MARC recordEffect 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). |
