About IRMACS Thematic Year

The objectives of the IRMACS 2011 Thematic Year: Scientific Modelling at SFU are to share with the SFU research community our experience with facilitating modelling groups at the Centre, to give an opportunity to various SFU modelling groups to showcase their research, to learn more about other groups that use modelling as part of their research approach, and, in general, to promote scientific modelling as a major research tool.

Professor of Mathematics and Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering, University of Utah

The dramatic decline of the summer Arctic sea ice pack is probably the most visible, large scale change on Earth's surface in recent years. Most global climate models, however, have significantly underestimated this decline. We will discuss how models from statistical physics are being used to study key sea ice processes such as the formation and melting of seasonal ice. Such processes must be better understood to improve projections of the...
