Late in 2009, Francesca Galea wrote us to declare the completion of her doctoral thesis entitled Artificial Islands in the Law of the Sea. With her blessing, we posted the PDF of her significant and clarifying inquiries on our Research page, but it is more appropriate that we give her research the highlight it deserves. From the paper:
Research Update: TSI Engineering Assessment Report (part 1) released
Thanks to Eelco Hoogendoorn and a host of valuable community support, our first offical Engineering report is now available for general parusal. You can pick it up from our new (and still in-progress) Research page, or download the PDF directly here.

Weekly Research Program
Wayne, Mike Doty & I have put together a new Weekly Research Program, as our first pass at a Distributed Research Program. Each week, a new topic will be posted in the DRP Forum (RSS). People will research solutions, and at the end of the week, a moderator will summarize the results to the Wiki. Essentially, we’re reproducing the infrastructure sections of the book in a more detailed, up-to-date way. The details are on the Weekly Research page.
