Disseration Enhancement: Wind and Wave Effects on Sea Ice

这个奖项支持授予克拉克森大学的海莉·沈博士的国家科学基金会学位论文增强奖。沈博士的博士生格雷戈里·伦纳德先生将在日本北海道大学环境地球科学研究生院池田元吉教授的实验室工作三个月。该研究项目将调查风和海浪对海冰的影响。拟议的研究将把从鄂霍次克海获得的遥感和现场数据与模型研究进行比较，以确定风和海浪对研究区域海冰运动和生长/衰退的影响。该项目将提供从鄂霍次克海获取大量日本实地数据的途径，从而促进对遥感结果的解释，并为理论模型提供资料。该项目将为我们对海冰动力学的理解增加新的信息，同时鼓励美日在这一研究领域加强合作。

Dr. Shen's Ph.D. student, Mr. Gregory Leonard, will work for three months in the laboratory of Professor Motoyoshi Ikeda of the Graduate School of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, Japan. The research project will investigate wind and wave effects on sea ice.The proposed research will compare remotely sensed and field data obtained from the Okhotsk Sea to model studies in order to determine the effects of wind and waves on the motion and growth/decay of sea ice in the study region. This project will provide access to the considerable Japanese field data from the Okhotsk Sea, thus facilitating interpretation of remote sensing results and providing input to the theoretical models. The project will add new information to our understanding of sea ice dynamics and, at the same time, encourage stronger U.S.-Japan collaboration in this area of research.***
