The Challenger Society for Marine Science

We are the foremost learned society representing the UK academic marine research community.

Measuring and modelling sea ice and its behaviour is a challenging problem as highlighted in The Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. A theme issue “Theory, modelling and observations of marginal ice zone dynamics: multidisciplinary perspectives and outlooks” (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rsta/2022/380/2235) and the INI programmes  “Mathematics of Sea-Ice Phenomena” and “SIP Follow on: Mathematics of sea ice in the 21st century” (https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/sip/#:~:text=The%20’Mathematics%20of%20Sea%2DIce,interactions%20with%20fluids%20and%20solids.).

To continue the discussion initiated at INI and at the previous edition of the “Maths of Sea Ice —  UK” we are planning a meeting on the 16–17 of December 2025 at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK).

We aim to start the meeting on Tuesday at 12:30 and close it no later than 15:00 on Wednesday to facilitate travel.

The meeting will bring together researchers from different fields to present modern problems of ice dynamics and thermodynamics, to formulate new problems and models and to discuss strategies for their solutions.

Invited speakers for this meeting will be:

  • Takuji Waseda (The University of Tokyo)
  • Ed Blockley (MetOffice)
  • Veronique Danserau (Université Grenoble Alpes)
  • Robyn Verrinder (University of Cape Town)

Others will have the opportunity to deliver 5mins talks and a poster leaving plenty of time for discussion.

The meeting is supported by the Isaac Newton Institute Network Support (EP/V521929/1), there are no registration costs. We aim to support reasonable travel and accommodation costs with priority given to Early Career Researchers (PhDs from the UK) by providing support towards travel expenses.

We hope we can join us in Norwich, please sign-up HERE as soon as possible to help us plan.
