Dr. Svetlana Stuefer is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Water and Environmental Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Her specialization is in the cold region’s hydrology with an emphasis on the snow and ice related processes. She continuously worked on Arctic field data collection (snow, precipitation, streamflow, ice) and on using these data for building tools for engineering analysis and design in Alaska. Her recent research activities include ground-penetrating radar (GPR) applications for transportation safety on rivers in rural Alaska. Dr. Stuefer received her Ph.D. from the Russian State Hydrometeorological University, St. Petersburg, Russia. She joined the Water and Environmental Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2003 as a Post-Doctoral Fellow.
