Dartmouth's Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society and Thayer School of Engineering will collaborate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) to assess ways to improve energy services, delivery, storage, and mobility for military bases in the Arctic.
The project's principal investigator is Professor of Environmental Studies Elizabeth Wilson, director of the Irving Institute. Co-investigators are associate professors of engineering Amro Farid and Jifeng Liu, and Weiyang Li, the William P. Harris Career Development Assistant Professor of Engineering.
"CRREL is ramping up in the energy engineering space, and Dartmouth is ramping up in the energy space. So this is a natural relationship that we really hope to foster and grow over the next couple of decades," says Wilson. "This collaboration builds on Dartmouth's historic strength in the Arctic as we work to develop our focus on the area of cold regions energy systems. This broad collaboration will make Dartmouth stronger."
