Erland M. Schulson received his B.A.Sc.(Honours, 1964) and his Ph.D.(1968) in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of British Columbia. He has been a National Research Council of Canada visiting senior research fellow at Oxford University (1968-'69), a research officer in materials science at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada (1969-'78), a visiting research fellow at the General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center (1988), a visiting professor at the University of Grenoble (1989), and a Fulbright Foreign Scholar at CNRS's Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Geophysique de l'Environnement, Grenoble (1999). In 1978 he joined the faculty of the Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, and in 1999 was appointed the (first) George Austin Colligan Distinguished Professor of Engineering. He was elected Fellow of ASM International (2003) and of TMS (2006) and is a member of the American Geophysical Union and the International Glaciological Society. Prof. Schulson founded the Ice Research Laboratory at Dartmouth in 1983, and since then has served as its director. He is currently serving as Chair of DartmouthÕs Engineering Sciences Department. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in materials science, mechanical behavior of solids and phase transformations, and pursues research on the relationship between the structure and mechanical behavior of metals and ice. He consults for industry and government. He served as ice consultant on NASA's Return-to Flight Program. Dr. Schulson has presented over 100 invited lectures in this country and abroad, has authored over 250 papers on physical/mechanical metallurgy and on ice mechanics, holds or shares four patents relating to zirconium alloys and to electron beam apparatus and is the author of a new book, entitled: Creep and Fracture of Ice (Erland M. Schulson and Paul Duval, 2009, Cambridge University Press). Dr. Schulson is listed on ISIHighlyCited.com.
