In the 1970s, CRREL contributed to the planning and building of the trans-Alaska pipeline by providing data on the engineering properties of permafrost and thaw-susceptible soils and advice on the behavior of piles in permafrost. |
 |
CRREL's mobility research program focuses on forecasting state-of-the-ground conditions and improving trafficability in adverse winter conditions. |
 |
CRREL's mobility research program has also focused its research on improbing the capability of US forces to cross ice-covered rivers in South Korea. |
 |
In 1977, CRREL developed the concept and provided technical support for the relocation and live extension of this 3300-ton early-warning radar site on teh Greenland ice cap. |

Evaluating the effectiveness of using surfactants to herd oil in ice-infested water on the refrigerated Test Basin in the Ice Engineering Facility. |
 |
A test is being conducted in the refrigerated Flume in the Ice Engineering Facility to evaluate the effectiveness of river training structures in shallow streams in cold regions. |
 |
Ice is being harvested from an outside pond for testing with oil. |
