Research Interests
Dr. Romanovsky is interested in the scientific
and practical aspects of environmental and engineering problems
involving ice and permafrost. These include problems in the areas
of soil physics, thermodynamics, heat and mass flow, and growth
and decay processes that are associated with permafrost, subsea
permafrost, seasonally frozen ground, and seasonal snow cover. Dr.
Romanovsky is also interested in the improvement of mathematical
methods (analytical and numerical modeling) in geology and geophysics.
