CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I am interested in the scientific and practical aspects of environmental and engineering problems
involving ice and permafrost. These include problems in the areas of soil physics, thermodynamics, heat
2
and mass flow, and growth and decay processes that are associated with permafrost, subsea permafrost,
seasonally frozen ground, and seasonal snow cover. I am also interested in the improvement of
mathematical methods (analytical and numerical modeling) in geology and geophysics.
