Craig Lake - Faculty

Dr. Lake obtained his PhD at the University of Western Ontario in 2000, under the supervision of Dr. R. Kerry Rowe. His area of research is geo-environmental engineering with a focus on containment barrier evaluations and design.  Prior to Dalhousie, he was employed with Jacques Whitford and Associates in their head office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

If you are a potential graduate student interested in applied research related to geo-environmental barrier systems such as GCLs and soil-cement barrier systems, please contact him directly at the address given below.
