Implementation of the Contingency Plan On Offshore Units Including Mobile Offshore Drilling Units

Safety of dynamic positioning operations on mobile offshore drilling units

Psychosocial burden among offshore drilling platform employees.

Conditions of work on offshore drilling platforms are particularly hard due to extreme environmental situations created both by nature and technological processes. Oil drilling workers employed on the open sea are potentially exposed to permanently high stress. Apart from the obvious objective factors affecting drilling platform employees, a great role in the general work-related stress level i...

Cross-shore hydrographic transects obtained offshore of Barrow with the Remote Environmental Measuring UnitS

Use of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to obtain environmental observations beneath coastal sea ice offshore of Barrow, Alaska is described. The work is motivated by the desire to obtain cross-shore hydrographic transects (temperature, salinity and velocity vs. depth) that would provide estimates of the transport of relatively dense, salty water from the Chukchi Sea to the Arctic Ocean i...

New Lithostratigraphic Units in the Croatian Offshore and Their Definition in the «R» Programming Language

New lithostratigraphic units in the Croatian offshore have been recently proposed, and are now used, especially in the Pleistocene and Holocene sediments. Two new formations in the Croatian part of the Northern Adriatic have been previously named (Istra and Ivana), as well as recently three new lithostratigraphic members inside the Ivana Formation. In addition, a name change of the Susak Format...
