Hung Tao Shen
Hung Tao Shen is a Distinguished Research Professor in Hydraulic Engineering at Clarkson University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanics and Hydraulics from the University of Iowa. Dr. Shen joined the faculty of Clarkson University in 1976, and served as the Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering Department and Associate Dean of Engineering. He was a visiting faculty at US Army CRREL, Lulea University, Iwate University, Hokkaido River Disaster Prevention Research Center, and Nanyang Technological University. Currently he is a visiting Chair Professor at Sichuan University, and a visiting scientist at Nanyang Technological University. His primary research interest is cold regions hydraulics, oil and chemical spill modeling, and sediment transport. He has introduced an analytical framework for studying river ice processes. He has developed the transport capacity theory for frazil ice jams/hanging dams and the theory on dynamic ice transport and ice jams. His research group has developed comprehensive computer models for river processes, including thermal-ice and sediment transport processes. These models have been applied to rivers worldwide. His current research interest is on morphological effects of river ice.Professor Shen served as the editor of the Journal of Cold Regions Engineering of ASCE. He is a recipient of the ASCE Harold R. Peyton Cold Regions Engineering Award (2000), the ASCE CAN-AM Civil Engineering Amity Award (2000), the Larry Gerard Medal of the CGU-Hydrology Section (2001, 2015), the ASCE Hunter Rouse Hydraulic Engineering Award (2007), and the IAHR Ice Research and Engineering Award (2008).

simulation system CRISSP. The system would be applicable to a wide range of river ice
engineering needs, including hydropower operations, ice jam floods, inland navigation,
water transfer, and ice related environmental and ecological problems. It will consist of
a one-dimensional model and a two-dimensional model with user interfaces. The river
ice processes to be modeled include: water temperature and ice concentration changes,
frazil and anchor ice evolution, surface ice transport and cover formation, undercover
transport and frazil jams, thermal growth and decay of ice cover, breakup and surface
ice jams
