Mathematics and sea ice
« on: June 28, 2014, 11:14:12 PM »
Came across this video seminar to HS students.

It is giving a talk about how math can be used to determine such things as melt pond effects on ice, sea ice permeability, why finding thickness of ice so difficult... very broad ranging.
Warnings: is almost an hr long, 1st part is basic background, then the math science comes  very fast and may want to be prepared to repeat sections. Math is not needed to understand what he is talking about.

Edit: tried embedding video but can not figure out code that works.

Maybe "Tony" Watts can use this to finish up his degree:)  Of course.....he still has to learn how to read temperatures.....  But he'll get there one day....

crandle kind of somes up the problem.
buddy A few quotes from some I have read and some I have never heard about.
“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”
― Thomas Edison
“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
“Don't tell me what I'm doing; I don't want to know.”
― Federico Fellini
"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second,  it is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
