Climate Change Offshore N. W. Europe―
An Assessment of the
Impact of Changing Meteorological and Oceanographic (Metocean)
Conditions on Offshore Activities
Collected papers of the colloquium, held 1996

Order Reference C12, Price £25
This volume discusses the mounting evidence of significant
changes to the metocean conditions in the North Atlantic, and
assesses their impact on offshore operations and coastal engineering
activities.
It will be of particular significance to anyone working in
the North West Atlantic area, reflecting the topics of: short-term
implications for existing installations from the increased severity
of the weather patterns; longer term implications of sustained
severe weather for older structures; safety and cost implications
on potential reduction in available 'weather windows' for critical
marine operations; effects on the designs for new installations;
implications for Platform Safety Cases, regulatory matters, and
the insurance industry.
