In the Arctic, his contributions include a foundation design for a new berthing building at Summit Station, design and development of a low-tare traverse cargo sled, design contributions to mobile buildings at Summit Station, engineering analyses of the Summit skiway, and evaluation and design recommendations for the Summit Station building lifting systems. In addition to a strong technical skill set, Blaisdell also has experience with the management of projects, schedules, budgets, contracts, equipment, and infrastructure life cycles, energy, operations, and logistics.

His analysis of magnetic field waves, caused by the interaction of solar wind with space plasma particles, shows how solar energy is transferred to Earth's upper atmosphere. To that end, he serves as the deputy director of the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research Polar Engineering Development Center for operation and on-site service of a suite of scientific instruments at crewed and uncrewed stations across Antarctica.
