SCIENCE ON TAP NEWS

Join the Bradbury Science Museum and the Los Alamos Creative District for Science on Tap Monday, Dec. 16 at 5:30 p.m. at projectY cowork. This On Tap will feature a conversation with Elizabeth Hunke about CICE, a flexible thermal modeling software that addresses issues about ice and climate changes on a global scale.

Hunke’s modeling software has helped track the changes and effects of ice melting and moving and how it interacts with global patterns. Her research not only creates a deeper understanding of the impacts of ice changes for climate researchers but also for naval navigators, forecasting centers and for worldwide Earth Systems researchers.

Science On Tap is sponsored by the Bradbury Science Museum in partnership with the Los Alamos Creative District and hosted at projectY cowork.
