SUMMARY:The Ising model for melt ponds: new features and applications - Iv

DESCRIPTION:In order to help develop a predictive theoretical approach to 
 studying melting sea ice\, Ma et al.\, 2019 introduced a two-dimensional r
 andom field Ising model which accounts for only the most basic physics in 
 the system. The ponds are identified as metastable states in the model\, w
 here the binary spin variable corresponds to the presence of meltwater or 
 ice on the sea ice surface. In this talk\, I will discuss the new dynamic 
 features of such an Ising-type model and their possible applications. I wi
 ll also present a new machine learning architecture (MeltPondNet) for sea 
 ice image segmentation that might be useful for the parametrization of mel
 t pond models.&nbsp\;
