The Arctic and cold regions of the United States present many unique and difficult engineering problems that demand a coordinated fundamental research program. As a response to the Arctic Research and Policy Act, the National Science Board commissioned a study the Colwell Report that examined the role of the National Science Foundation NSF in polar regions. The report's recommendation 14 called for the conduct of basic engineering research in polar regions and suggested it be a specifically targeted research component within the Engineering Directorate of NSF. The report presents the type of fundamental research programs that would aid in the solution of longterm cold regions engineering problems. Over 40 participants in a 212day period suggested 14 research programs within four broad groupings—offshore technology; watersheds, rivers, and coastal zones; facilities infrastructure technology; and transportation infrastructure technology. |
