Draft plan for experimental field study of the application of mineral fines to oil spills in pack ice / for: Environmental Studies Research Funds, Natural Resources Canada ; by: SL Ross Environmental Research...: NE22-4/210E-PDF
"This proposed field study will examine the potential for mineral fines applied by vessels to remediate oil slicks in pack ice. Increased vessel traffic and oil exploration in the Beaufort Sea threatens to increase the risk of oil spills in remote Arctic locations. One of the challenges of spill response in the Arctic is the potential for oil spills to occur in pack ice, which greatly complicates the task of collecting the oil with conventional containment and recovery techniques"--Introduction, page 3.
