TITLE
- Modeling the Melt: what math tells us about the disappearing polar ice caps
SUMMARY -- The precipitous loss of Arctic sea ice has far outpaced expert predictions.
In this lecture Dr. Golden will explore the mathematical underpinnings of this mystery
and take us (via video) on an Antarctic expedition.
This lecture is part of the Thirteenth International Conference
on Continuum Models and Discrete Systems being held at the
University of Utah, July 21-25, 2014.
