The Role of Convection and Turbulence in Melting of Polar Ice-Shelves

International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube

Overview

Explore the critical role of convection and turbulence in the melting of polar ice shelves in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the complex fluid dynamics of the atmosphere and ocean, and their impact on climate-scale processes, with a focus on the polar regions. Gain insights into the mechanisms driving ice shelf deterioration, including the interplay between ocean currents, heat transfer, and ice dynamics. Suitable for students and researchers interested in climate science, oceanography, and polar studies, this talk provides a thorough examination of the physical processes contributing to ice shelf melt, a key factor in global sea level rise and climate change.
