The partners of the STRICE project have published throughout the project's operative phase a considerable number of scientific papers.

One PhD thesis has already resulted directly from the STRICE project. Currently several others are in preparation which heavily utilise STRICE data and results and apply or further develop methods and models which have their origin in the project.

The STRICE project coordinator has published, and widely circulated, an overview on the STRICE project in the HSVA NewsWave issue no. 2/2002 (pp 6-7) which is also available for downloading here (PDF file ~ 7 MB).

In conjunction to this please refer also to the information provided in the sections on this web site concerning the

• cooperation between and clustering of the STRICE and NEST projects,
• how STRICE results are transferred to the formulation and implementation of the new ISO Ice Code.

PhD / doctoral theses resulting from the STRICE project

One doctoral thesis resulted directly from the STRICE project.

Jaakko Heinonen (VTT - formerly at HUT)
Constitutive modelling of ice rubble in first-year ridge keel

Thesis given on June 28, 2004 at STRICE partner Helsinki University of Technology (HUT).
A medium-resolution copy is can be downloaded here (PDF-file ~3.7 MB).
To obtain a high-resolution copy of the thesis please refer to the author.

Ongoing postgraduate research takes great benefits in using data acquired in STRICE as well as applying, methods, models and tools developed in the project. Resulting theses will be listed here when completed.

STRICE workshop on POAC'03 - the project's main dissemination event
