In order to achieve this, a classification of different wrecks is made. READ MORE

  5. 3. Method Development for Environmental Risk Assessment of Shipwrecks

    Author : Hanna Landquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental risk assessment; decision support; fault tree analysis; shipwreck;

    Abstract : Potentially polluting shipwrecks containing oil or other hazardous substances may posea threat to the marine environment. This is a global problem and many shipwrecks stemfrom the Second World War and have been deteriorating on the sea floor since then. READ MORE

  6. 4. Environmental risk assessment of shipwrecks – Model development and application
