| Description | During Dr. Einstein's graduate studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich he became deeply interested in the fundamental mechanics of the transportation of sediment by flowing water. His doctoral thesis, Bed load transport as a probability problem (1936), is the definitive work on sedimentation transportation as recognized by engineers and scientists throughout the world. In 1938, Dr. Einstein immigrated to the United States where he continued his research on the transport... |
