Robert Perkins and F. Lawrence Bennett, UAF civil engineering professors, will lead

Cold Regions.
The two professors are active researchers for the Center for Environmentally Sustainable
Transportation in Cold Climates at UAF. Their presentation will draw on their previously
completed CESTiCC report, "Sustainable Construction in Remote Cold Regions."
The seminar will also feature 12 other presentations of speakers from government and
industry. Registration is currently open. Here is the direct link to the on-line

Frank Moolin, chief engineer on the trans-Alaska pipeline, died of cancer in 1982,
five years after the pipeline was completed. The Moolin Seminar, sponsored by the
Alaska Society of Professional Engineers, honors his legacy and strives to improve management
of large projects in Alaska.
