Description |
Discussions with government agencies and oil
companies in the United States, Canada and Norway have indicated their
interest in conducting a research program involving a full-scale
experimental oil release in the Arctic Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ). Primary
interest appeared to be in evaluating alternative oil spill response options
and in supplying data strengthened model simulations of oil-ice
interactions. The purpose of this project was to conduct a workshop to assemble potentially interested organizations capable of funding such an experiment and establish an information base upon which to make decisions regarding a full-scale experimental oil release in the Arctic MIZ. Potential partners were identified and invited to participate in a Sponsorship Development meeting. The meeting was conducted October 15-16, 2001 at the Minerals Management Service, Alaska Regional Office in Anchorage, AK. The project goals identified are to:
