Voici la présentation du cours "Ice and Snow" que je vais suivre pour ce dernier quarter à Luleå. Il a été créé suite à la demande d'anciens exchange students désireux d'en apprendre un peu plus sur la neige et la glace.
Course Aim
The aim of the course is to give you knowledge about how to take advantage of winter climate and avoid problems related to ice and snow.
Contents
- Give basic understanding of arctic conditions, how to act, dress and eat to stay comfortable.
- Give basic understanding of the phenomena for both natural and artificial formation of ice.
- Bearing capacity of ice.
- Give knowledge about the range for density, shear strength, compression- and tensile strength and heat conductivity for ice and snow.
- Give knowledge about systems for classification of ice and snow.
- Give a basic understanding and being able to describe metamorphism of dry and wet snow with special attention to what cause the metamorphism.
- Give knowledge about different methods to evaluate the risk for avalanches both local and over a larger region.
- Snow precipitation and snowmelt: Knowledge about the conditions required for forming of precipitation, problems associated with measuring snow precipitation rates, the definition of snow water equivalent (SWE), different models used to calculate snowmelt and the amount of liquid water that can be stored in snow.
- Snow accumulation: Describe how different techniques and models can be used to improve knowledge about snow accumulation patterns.
- Pollution in snow sources, types, measurements, maintenance.
- Snow removing techniques, strategies and costs.
- Engineering applications for ice and snow for example:
·How snow can be utilised for chilling of buildings during summertime.
·Ice forces on constructions
Ce cours contient entre autre une sortie de 3 jours avec l'armée suédoise à Arvidsjaur pendant laquelle nous allons apprendre entre autre à faire son igloo, dormir dedans et faire des "reinders-kebab" avec un feu de camps, le tout en tenue de l'armée suédoise.
