    ERDC-CRREL scientists (from left to right) Tricia Nelsen, Dr. Chris Polashenski and Roy Hessner prepare for drilling through the Arctic sea ice to install an Ice Mast Balance Buoy.

    ERDC-CRREL scientists install sensor-laden buoys in one of the planet’s “hardest places” to reach

    As part of NASA's ARCSIX research program, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory scientists Dr. Chris Polashenski, Tricia Nelsen and Roy Hessner engineered and deployed specially modified, sensor-laden buoys into the Arctic Ocean north of Canada and Greenland near the North Pole in an effort to help NASA better understand Arctic sea ice melting.

    Luke Gurtowski, a research chemical engineer with ERDC’s Environmental Engineering Branch (EL), pours graphene while researching the benefits of the nanomaterial.

    ERDC’s Environmental Laboratory’s graphene research leads to a collaboration with NASA

    Scientists and engineers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Environmental Laboratory (EL) are conducting research that could lead to sustaining and advancing technology more efficiently and at a lower cost, both on Earth and in space.

    Understanding Global Hydrology

    Scientists with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) are exploring potential opportunities by utilizing a collaboration between ERDC, NASA, U.S. Air Force, and other DOD agencies in the development of Global Hydro Intelligence (GHI).

    A team from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) participated in NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Centennial Challenge and earned the 2020 Silver Medal. The ERDC-CERL team included Dr. Michael Case (not pictured), Megan Kreiger, Eric Kreiger, Russ Northrup (not pictured), and Dr. Pete Stynoski.

    A low light level camera inside the bell jar facility took this photograph during a test at Martian surface pressures and temperature. In the center is a small dewar of water being held at just above freezing. Water vapor from this pool quickly freezes on surrounding equipment. These features closely resemble what is seen in terrestrial Rodriguez wells, improving confidence in the experiment design.

    ERDC supports NASA’s mission to Mars

    In the 1960s during the Cold War, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Cold Region Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) designed a device, commonly referred to as a Rodriguez well, or Rodwell, to harvest water under the ice in Greenland and Antarctica to sustain U.S. facilities by providing water for drinking, hygiene and other needs. Presently, NASA is working with CRREL to assess whether that same technology can provide water for human-inhabited research stations on Mars.

    CRREL Researchers Dr. Carrie Vuyovich (back) and Art Gelvin (front) use sleds to transport the terrestrial laser scanner from the Local-Scale Observation Site. Scans were completed in snow-on and snow-off conditions to determine snow distribution and relate that to other instruments.
