Description
Summary:Northern development relies heavily on engineering, accordingly the capability to do this work under the harsh conditions of the North is a challenge which requires research and development involving not only the engineeering disciplines but also several of the sciences, particularly those that provide a basic understanding of the land and the oceans and the biological activity associated with them. This report recommends the establishment of an institute for cold regions engineering research and development, and of a centre for research on sea ice. : Le développement du Nord dépend dans une large mesure de la technologie. La possibilité d'accomplir le travail dans de rudes conditions, nécessite des recherches impliquant non seulement les disciplines du génie mais aussi plusieurs sciences, notamment celles qui permettent d'acquérir les connaissances essentielles des milieux terrestre et marin et des activités biologiques qui s'y rattachent. Ce rapport recommande l'établissement d'un institut de recherche et de développement pour les régions froides et d'un centre de recherche sur la glace marine. : Aussi disponible en français: Recherche et développement dans le domaine de l'ingénierie dans les régions froides
