Human activity in Arctic and sub-Arctic marine areas increase, especially the exploitation of oil and gas in areas such as the Barents Sea, the Canadian Arctic and the Sea of Okhotsk are of importance. The severe environmental conditions in these areas are a challenge both for designing marine structures and for handling possible pollution from such installations.
At the Arctic Technology department we want to strengthen our ongoing research activity within ice mechanics and forces to marine structures and fate and behaviour of oil spills in an Arctic environment. To strengthen the cooperation between Russia and Norway, a three-year PhD scholarship for a student with Russian nationality is offered. A description of the two research areas for this PhD student is given below. The scholarship shall strengthen existing research activities at the department. The official version of this announcement is available on our web pages www.unis.no (well, I can't find the announcement there - VM's note).
Questions regarding this scholarship (oil spill) can be addressed to: Associate Professor Per Johan Brandvik (Per.Johan.Brandvik@unis.no)
Questions regarding this scholarship (ice mechanics) can be addressed to: Associate Professor Knut V. Høyland (knut.hoyland@unis.no).
Application deadline: April 16, 2003.
