Title |
A Journey to the Arctic: Mathematical Modelers Meet Real-World Ice |
Abstract |
In May 2024, a team of seven mathematics students, led by Jody Reimer and Ken Golden, embarked on a 10-day journey to Utqiaġvik, Alaska. This expedition, a cornerstone of the Applied Math NSF RTG program, offered these young researchers a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the dynamic and complex frozen world of sea ice and the ecosystem it supports. This presentation will highlight the mathematical and scientific questions that motivate the research of Golden, Reimer, and their students. We will also share stories and visuals from our trip, and hear from the students about the impact this experience had on them. |
