Description:
The collaborative research Project develops a scientific research methodology to deploy sensors aboard an ice-going ship (Canadian Coast Guard Icebreaker CCGS Henry Larsen) in order to measure ice severity. Ice severity is related to a number of physical properties of ice, including: ice strength, ice thickness, ice age, ice coverage, ice piece size, pressure within the ice pack, etc. There is a significant body of scientific knowledge related to measuring certain ice properties from a ship but there are significant gaps in this knowledge. One of the main research gaps is that previous research has focused on measuring a specific ice property. However, no methods currently exist in the scientific literature for a holistic measurement of ice severity. The collaborative research Project addresses the research gap by using advanced scientific sensors to measure the impact of ice severity on a sea vessel traveling in Canadian icy waters.
