This course will feature research scientists and engineers from the Cold Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), who will be discussing ongoing projects that address significant challenges to military and civilian communities. The discussion series will open with a history of CRREL, explaining the rationale for establishing a federal lab specializing in cold regions research and engineering.

Working from this basis, the other presentations will describe current major projects. At the conclusion of the class, schedules permitting, an in-person tour of the unique and world-renowned laboratory facilities will be offered. The overall aim of this course is to provide a perspective on the broad range of issues that are tackled by the CRREL research staff, many of which benefit our local community.

 

Elias Deeb, a physical scientist at CRREL, studies global snow/ice using space, airborne, and field methods with focus on water resources and climate impacts. ROBYN BARBATO, a soil microbiologist at CRREL, studies permafrost/snow microbiology, terrestrial signals/sensing, cold regions biotechnology. ZOE COURVILLE, a mechanical engineer at CRREL, researches snow and ice systems with focus on polar engineering including crevasse detection as well as past climate reconstruction from ice cores.
