Review of ice movement buoys for tracking oil spills / by R.H. Goodman, Innovative Ventures Ltd. ; for the Research and Development Division, Environmental Emergency Branch, Northwest Region, Environmental...: En46-3/78-7E-PDF

"In the event of an oil spill in Arctic waters, oil may be trapped under ice for a period of time. Thus, the tracking of the oil during this time may be accomplished by following the movements of the ice under which the oil is located. This report reviews the various techniques by which ice movements might be remotely monitored or determined. These techniques are divided into two regimes: "macro" systems for tracking ice over great distances and "micro" systems using short-range homing systems for the accurate location of specific sites"--Abstract, page i.
