Nina Stark creates waves on recent trip to study ocean engineering
Geotechnical engineering can lead engineers to remote places all over the world.
Nina Stark, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, experienced this type of seclusion on her recent visit to Herschel Island, located in the Beaufort Sea off the coast of the Yukon Territory in Canada. In fact, it is Yukon’s northernmost point, where people do not permanently reside.
