my name is dr joe corvo . I'm the
director of the Cold Regions Research
and engineering lab located up in
Hanover new Hampshire and here we are
on the handover campus in front of our
new Cold climatic chamber . Many times
when you're doing your scientific or
engineering inquiries to try to solve
problems you you you have to have
highly controlled environmental
conditions and so when we go out into
the world of course we can't control
any environmental conditions can we ?
But with this facility will be able to
maintain steady environmental
conditions but then we can shift them ,
change them so we actually get to
control that extreme cold environment .
And again we do that because we're
trying to achieve goals for which we
might have very rigid military
standards for example or even civil
engineering standards and we want to
show that we can achieve that standard .
We're actually going to use this
facility to do work to meet the
strategic goals of the Corps of
Engineers and that priority is to
protect and defend the arctic . And so
likewise the army just published an
arctic strategy . We're gonna use this
facility to meet the goals of that
arctic strategy and I can go on and on .
Because the Navy has an arctic strategy .
The Air Force has an arctic strategy .
All of D . O . D . Has an arctic
strategy . And so this facility is
going to be used by by Carell by er
deck scientists and engineers and
technicians to help our country achieve
strategic goals and how cool is that .
I can't tell you how how much of it is .
A pleasure to me to be able to tell the
scientists and engineers of the verdict
that they have a powerful new tool , a
world class tool . And it gives me
pleasure just being able to help them
to acquire this new tool . And so we're
gonna have a lot of very happy
scientists and engineers working
together to solve some of our nation's
tough , toughest problems right in that
brand new state of the art facility and
it just gives me absolute joy to be
able to say , Here you go , you got a
new tool to do your mission . We have
the world's largest a lot of things and
it takes the world's largest facilities
to execute our world class mission on
behalf of this nation . So I was very ,
very proud of our Cold Regions research
and engineering laboratory team from
the engineers and scientists to the
technicians , to the administrators
that make this place home . You guys
have been doing world class research
for six decades . I've been coming here
since the 80s and I've been so proud of
this team , especially proud though ,
is the director of ergic uh for all of
our laboratories and today especially
proud of Israel and the entire team
here . So I'm very proud of you .
Please keep up the great work and look
forward to seeing you again
