SIPW05
19 September 2022 to 30 September 2022
This two-week workshop at the Isaac Newton Institute (INI) will build on the successful scientific programme SIP’17 with a similar title that took place at the INI from 21/08/2017 to 20/12/2017. This programme stimulated new areas of enquiry and consolidation of existing work that is continuing. The aims of the present workshop are to support these advances, to give an extra impulse to new research on the mathematics of sea ice, and to review the progress achieved after the SIP’17 programme.
The continuing changes in the Earth’s polar sea-ice covers under global warming make advances in the mathematics of sea ice timelier than ever. Recognizing this urgency and the need for succession planning, the follow-on workshop will include a Summer School for early career researchers with lectures on ice models, ice physics and research challenges. An Industrial Day and a half-day colloquium with the British Antarctic Survey are also planned. Topics of the talks and discussions during the proposed workshop will include but are not limited to: Large-scale ice models for offshore engineering and shipping, environmental or climate modelling; Multi-scale ice modelling through several scales; Quantification of uncertainties in ice modelling; Parsimonious models of continuous and broken ice.
The workshop will focus on the following key problems and issues. The misalignment of climate-oriented research and engineering research on floating ice remains substantial. There is a tendency to modify the large-scale models of sea-ice dynamics, primarily developed for environmental or climate modelling, for engineering purposes and shipping. How to combine small-scale and large-scale observations and modelling to form a holistic understanding of sea-ice is poorly understood. Gaps in our knowledge of sea-ice behaviour limit the application of existing ice models. The restrictive conditions of contemporary ice models are not always clearly appreciated, leading to confusion in the interpretation of results. In fact, some existing mathematical models of ice-structure and ice-ice interactions may not even be grounded in physics. Some issues with the current modelling of sea ice should be reviewed and revised, including, inter alia, the effect of collision-based rheologies of broken ice on wave damping; mechanisms that remove energy from waves in the presence of floating ice; impact on ice and breaking ice by impact; modelling of the floe size distribution and its influence on the ice mass balance; and the impact of under-represented ice growth, melt, and dissolution processes on the abundance of ice and its thermal and mechanical properties.
The SIP’17 programme demonstrated that there is a tendency to make existing ice models even more complex by including more effects with the addition of more terms and/or embedding extra equations. An alternative parsimonious mathematical methodology makes models simpler by including only the main contributory effects and neglecting many others. The workshop will promote a balanced approach whereby the computational burden of detailed physical representations is weighed against the size of their impact on known metrics or new emergent phenomena. The workshop will allow researchers from across the globe and from any stage of their careers to come up to speed with contemporary developments, capitalising on progress made in SIP’17 on ice problems.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
