Elizabeth will speak about the role sea ice plays in understanding and predicting global climate, highlighted with photos taken on a 1998 research cruise to Antarctica to gather data about sea ice.

Elizabeth works with the Climate, Ocean and Sea Ice Modeling team at Los Alamos. They develop ocean and sea ice models that are used in international assessments of the global climate and for general climate process studies. Elizabeth concentrates her efforts on the sea ice model and ice-ocean simulations, studying the global ocean circulation.
