The U.S. Permafrost Association (USPA) invite registration for their upcoming USPA Technical Training Webinar Series event, titled Thermosyphons - Past, Present, and Future. This webinar will take place via Zoom on 27 March 2024, 10:00-11:00 a.m. AKDT.
The webinar will include an introduction to the use of two-phase thermosyphons to maintain or augment permafrost in a variety of applications, along with operation and deployment history of various thermosyphon design milestones. Several configurations of thermosyphons will be discussed as well as good practices for design, and current research and projections for the future.
Instructors for this webinar include:
- Ed Yarmak, PE, is President of Arctic Foundations, Inc. and has 43 years of passive and active ground freezing experience. He has managed deployment of hundreds of projects using thermosyphon cooling systems in and out of Alaska. He is a past president of the U.S. Permafrost Association, a past chair of American Society of Civil Engineers’s Cold Region Engineering Division, and is currently on the Executive Committee of the International Permafrost Association.
- Dr. Anna Wagner is an environmental engineer at Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) and works across a broad spectrum of science and engineering projects primarily focused on Alaska and cold regions studies. She has worked on thermosyphon research projects including several installations in Fairbanks, Alaska. She was the USPA President in 2023.
The webinars are free for USPA members and all students. For non-USPA members who are not students, the registration fee is $20 for each webinar. The seminar will be recorded and uploaded on the USPA website.
