David Arthur Lind (September 12, 1918 – March 6, 2015) was an American physics professor, Guggenheim Fellow, mountain climber, and skier.
[3][4] For the academic year 1950–1951, Lind was a Guggenheim Fellow studying at the Nobel Institute of Physics in Stockholm and at ETH Zurich.
They were the principal investigators of an AEC contract for designing and constructing a 52-inch cyclotron with azimuthally varying magnetic field and capable of accelerating protons to 30 MeV.
[7] He taught a course on the physics of snow and avalanche phenomena as part of his work at the CU Arctic and Alpine Institute.
Lind developed avalanche rescue beacons while working as a consultant for the National Ski Patrol Association.
