- Abstract:
- Dr Peter Sammonds of the experimental Mineral, Ice & Rock Physics Laboratory and Dr Daniel Feltham, an applied mathematician at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) at UCL are joining forces with Prof. Kaj Riska of Helsinki University of Technology, who specializes in model ice basin modelling, to carry out a fundamental investigation of scaling of sea ice friction. The goal is to incorporate brittle discontinuous processes into models of sea ice mechanics and Arctic Ocean dynamics, but the research will focus on the question of sea ice friction. Central to this project are high-resolution ice friction experiments, which will be performed at two scales, in the laboratory and in a model ice basin. We use these experimental results to generate a sea ice constitutive relation using measured parameters suitable for inclusion into GCMs.
