While employed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Dr. Wyant co-authored numerous oil spill risk assessments for environmental impact studies related to offshore drilling and transport. He also worked on flood prediction models and on effects of strip mining on flooding and wildlife. As an independent statistical consultant, he reviewed similar oil spill risk assessments, and analyzed frequency distributions of ice ridges and ice ridge thickness for Arco as part of its R&D programs to design ice-breaking oil tankers and offshore rigs for the Alaskan North Slope fields.
