Speaking: Claudia Cenedese (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution), Louis Couston (Lyon)
The Mathematics on Ice Forum meets once a month to discuss mathematical aspects of ice dynamics and bring together the community in an informal atmosphere.
The forum will be held every 4 weeks and lasts from 4:00pm to 5:30pm UK Time (either BST or GMT, depending on the time of year). In each meeting there will be two presentations and time for discussions and ice-breaking in small sub-groups:
4:00 - 4:25 First talk + questions
4:25 - 4:35 Breakout discussion / ice-breaking
4.35 - 5:00 Second talk + questions
5:00 - 5:10 Breakout discussions / ice-breaking
5:10 - 5:30 Summary questions / discussion
If you can't make it for all the time, feel free to attend while you can.
The talks are intended to provide introduction to topics and cover a broad range of areas, focusing on foundations, physical phenomena and numerical implementations of ice sheet and glacier dynamics. Proposed themes to be covered include shear margin evolution, melt production, softening, fracture mechanics, damage (e.g. crevassing, rifting, hydrofracture, calving), subglacial environments (e.g. hydrology, till dynamics and lubrication), surface mass balance processes (e.g. supraglacial lakes and rivers, snow dynamics), anisotropy/fabric/ice crystal microstructure, and ice-ocean interactions.
Feel free to send us suggestions for themed sessions. We would like to encourage in particular PhD students to present their research.
