A paper comparing offshore platform foundations was honoured with the Outstanding Manuscript Award at the MTS Awards Luncheon at OCEANS'10 MTS/IEEE Seattle .
"Foundation Design: A Comparison of Oil and Gas Platforms with Offshore Wind Turbines" appeared last year in volume 44, number 1 of the MTS Journal and was authored by James A. Schneider, Ph.D., and Marc Senders, Ph.D. Schneider is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
His paper was an extension of a presentation he gave at the 2009 TechSurge Workshop, Marine Technology for Offshore Wind Power. Senders works for the Australian oil and gas company Woodside. The Outstanding Manuscript Award comes with a $1000 prize. Unbeknownst to the judges who chose the paper, it was the most cited and purchased MTS Journal paper of the year.
