Shell Exploration & Production Company (Shell) initiated field surveys in the Beaufort Sea starting in 2006 and the Chukchi Sea starting in 2009. The BSEE and Statoil were participants in a number of the studies. Coastal Frontiers Corporation was tasked with executing field surveys, performing analysis, and preparing reports related to the following subjects: river overflood, strudel scour, sea ice, coastal stability, freezeup, and grounded ice features. Field surveys and/or analysis and reporting were carried out through 2015, although not every year for each subject.
