Description
Summary:would not have been possible without the encouraging words and guidance of my advisor Patrick Martin. His unremitting support saw me through a number of matters both academic and personal. I’d like to thank Carol MacLennan, who fostered my attention to socialized aspects of the Arctic Coal Company mining system and those related to the environment. Stanley Vitton, my outside reader, offered insightful perspective on mining strategies and their relation to environment and technology. Paul White deserves credit for my introduction to the Chaîne Opératoire and its relevance within industrial landscapes. I am extremely grateful to the rest of the faculty at Michigan Tech, who stimulated my perspective and appreciation of industrial history. I’d like to acknowledge those that offered financial support to MTU’s research on Spitsbergen: The Longyear Corporation; Christopher Longyear; The Svalbard
