Career Type:

Scientist/Researcher/Academic

Organization Type:

Governments and Public Utilities

Expertise Fields/Interests:

My initial training in cold regions offshore engineering was in physics and mechanics of laboratory-made ice. I eventually got involved with lake/river ice, sea ice and iceberg (glacial) ice. I have about 25 years of R&D experience dealing with cold regions engineering issues. This may be summarized as follows: - Frazil ice and river ice - Winter roads and ice roads - Sea ice - Ice-bearing capacity - Ice/seafloor interaction - Ice/structure interaction
