Um námskeiðið

The reduction of Arctic Sea ice creates increased opportunities for shipping and offshore maritime industries. This course uses the developments in the Arctic as a basis for providing an interdisciplinary introduction to shipping and offshore activities, involved stakeholders, institutions and third-party services. The course will explore how shipping and offshore activities affect coastal communities and management of maritime industries. Examples from the Arctic will provide context and serve as a basis for comparison for global trends. Students will gain a deeper academic understanding of how environmental, socioeconomic and political drivers have impacted offshore activities such as shipping, navigation, port operations, offshore petroleum, seabed mining, power and telecommunications, and local community’s socio-economic development.
