Born in Norway and educated in England and the U.S. Learned of the Glacier Project at Berkeley while in the Graduate School of Industrial Engineering. Thesis was on time-span of discretion in two work locations. Found TSD correlated with role rankings at +0.93 and with actual pay at +0.96. (Did not explore felt-fair pay.) Found other factors were subsumed within TSD (skills, experience, responsibility, etc.). Found resources were an additional factor that had consequences.
