Research abstract
THIS PROJECT WILL EXAMINE THE PROCESS OF WAVE EROSION OF FROZEN OR PARTIALLY FROZEN SLOPES. THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION IS THE EROSION OF UNPROTECTED CAUSEWAY BERMS BEING CONSTRUCTED IN THE ARCTIC. THE RATE EROSION, THE NEED FOR SLOPE PROTECTION (OR NON-NEED), AND THE TYPE OF SLOPE PROTECTION REQUIRED WILL BE IDENTIFIED. THE TEST WILL BE CONDUCTED AT PROTOTYPE SCALE TO CORRECTLY MODEL THE THERMAL EROSION INTO THE FROZEN SLOPE. THE RESILIENCE OF THE FROZEN GRAVEL CORE TO LIMITED WAVE ATTACK WILL BE ESTABLISHED.
