Federal grant leans on leading UND research programs to solve deepwater safety concerns in Gulf of Mexico (https://www.thedickinsonpress.com/news/4873239-Federal-grant-leans-on-leading-UND-research-programs-to-solve-deepwater-safety-concerns-in-Gulf-of-Mexico)

The Academies announced late last week that Daniel “Kwasi” Adjekum, an assistant professor of aviation in the UND John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, has been awarded $755,000 to support research as part of a larger $7.25-million Gulf research program. The initiative aims to develop an improved culture of safety in the oil and gas industry.

Adjekum, an internationally respected aerospace researcher, is uniquely qualified to transfer knowledge and skills from the aviation domain to oil and gas work. He has published extensively on safety culture in aviation and is a highly sought source regarding issues in aviation safety for major media networks.
