Robert S. Pritchard, PHD - 1997
Dr. Pritchard has studied ice behavior since 1973. He has helped develop several elastic plastic ice dynamics models, including the Aidjex model, coupled ice-ocean models, smaller scale models that can estimate ice forces on structures, a model of under-ice noise, and the next-generation anisotropic ice model. He has applied the models to understand potential oil spill behavior, and to help petroleum companies estimate environmental ice loads and evaluate feasibility of different production systems. His models and numerical methods have been used in Canadian and Norwegian ice forecasting systems, and by Russian scientists working with international petroleum companies.
Ph.D. (1970) University of New Mexico

Andrea Prosperetti, PHD - 1997
Professor Prosperetti is a world authority on the topic of gas and vapor bubbles that he has studied not only in themselves, but also in the context of boiling, two-phase flows, cavitation, and acoustics. He has contributed to the understanding of the effects of liquid compressibility and heat transfer in bubble dynamics, of the essential role played by bubbles in ocean acoustics, and of the mechanism of air entrainment in liquid flows, among others. He is also well known for his studies in the multiphase flows of suspensions of solid particles, drops, and bubbles.
Ph.D. (1974), California Institute of Technology
