Title: Multiscale models for sea ice and metamaterials Abstract: Polar sea ice is a multiscale composite material with complex structure on length scales ranging over many orders of magnitude. A principal challenge in sea ice modeling and computation is how to use microstructural information to find effective or homogenized behavior relevant to large-scale dynamic, thermodynamic, and ecological models. Similar challenges arise in the analysis and design of complex materials used in various scientific, engineering, industrial and medical applications. From tiny brine inclusions to ice pack dynamics on oceanic scales, and from microbes to polar bears, we'll tour recent advances in multiscale modeling of sea ice, its ecosystems, and related composite media. We'll encounter fractal geometry, dynamical systems, percolation, random matrix theory, Anderson localization, computational topology, anomalous diffusion, twisted bilayer graphene, and even invisibility cloaks.
