| Transcript | February 20, 2003 In January 2003, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology staff and faculty received more than $3.4 million in federal and state grants to conduct research and fund programs. That research and those programs will improve the educations students receive, improve weather forecasting, help give the United States military the weapons and equipment it needs and make other important advances in knowledge. The awards: • Dr. Kate Alley, director, Academic Initiatives, received $300, 000 from the Bush Foundation for the project, "Complexity and Coherence: Integrating Research and Curriculum Development to Create New Learning Environments." �� Dr. Gale Bishop, director, Museum of Geology, received $9, 006 from Georgia Southern University (Prime: Department of Education-Eisenhower Higher Education Act) for the project, "2002 Eisenhower Sea Turtle Assistantship." • Dr. David Boyles, professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Dr. Jon Kellar, chair and professor, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, and Dr. William Cross, research scientist II, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, received $203, 707 from the United States Department of Agriculture (EPSCOR) for the project, "NanoBio-Plastics and Composites from Linseed Oil and Saccharidic Source Materials." • Dr. Richard Farley, research scientist IV, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, received $9, 900 from the North Dakota Atmospheric Resource Board (Prime: State of North Dakota) for the project, "Severe Thunderstorm Numerical Simulations Manuscript Rework." • Dr. Sherry Farwell, dean, Graduate Education and Sponsored Programs, received $100, 000 in additional funds from NASA for the project, "South Dakota Space Grant College and Fellowship Program - 2003 First Robotics Program." Farwell also received $10, 502 in additional funds from the University of North Dakota (Prime: NASA) for the project, "A Public Access Resource Center (PARC) Empowering the General Public to Use EOSDIS - Implementation Phase." • Carrie Herbel, collections manager and preparator, Museum of Geology, received $8, 000 United States Department of the Interior-Badlands National Park for the project, "Preparation and Curation of Fossils collected from the Bombing Range Survey, Badlands National Park." She also received $2, 400 from United States Department of the Interior-Badlands National Park for the project, "Curatorial Backlog of Museum Specimens, Badlands National Park." • Dr. Mark Hjelmfelt, professor, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, received $58, 527 in additional funds from the National Science Foundation for the project, "Collaborative Research: Investigations of Non-Classic Lake-Effect Boundary Layer Process Supplement." • Dr. Jon Kellar, chair and professor, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, and Dr. William Cross, research scientist II, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, received $42, 000 from Advintec (Prime-Department of Defense) for the project, "Improved Performance of Composite Tanks in Cryogenic Storage Applications." • Dr. Melvin Klasi, associate professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, received $43, 997 from the South Dakota State University (Prime-Federal Highway Administration (US DOT) for the project, "South Dakota Transportation Technology Services (16)." • Dr. Jan Puszynski, professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, William Arbegast, director, Advanced Materials Processing, Dr. David Boyles, professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Dr. Fernand Marquis, professor, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Dr. Mikhail Foygel, professor, Department of Physics, Dr. Andrey Petukhov, professor, Department of Physics, Dr. Vladimir Sobolev, associate professor, Department of Physics, Dr. Sherry Farwell, dean, Graduate Education and Research, Dr. Brad Baker, assistant professor, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, and Dr. David Dixon, associate professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, received $2, 145, 000 from the Army Research Laboratory (prime-USDOD) for the project, "Advanced Materials and Processes for Future Combat Systems." • Dr. Paul Smith, professor emeritus, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, received $250, 000 in additional funds from the National Science Foundation for the project, "Armored T-28 Aircraft Facility for Research Requiring Storm Penetrations." Smith also receives $36, 000 from Aeromet, Inc. (Prime-United States Army) for the project, "Further Calibration Work on the KPol Radar." • Dr. Patrick Zimmerman, director, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, and professor, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, received $250, 000 in additional funds from the Governor's Office-State of South Dakota for the project, "South Dakota Carbon Sequestration Project (C-Lock)." |
