SUMMARY:Engineering in the cryosphere - Ben Lishman (Earth Sciences\, Univ
 ersity College\, London)
DTSTART:20100527T103000Z

UID:TALK24801@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Catherine Pearson
DESCRIPTION:The world's ice-covered areas are undergoing a period of somew
 hat rapid change. This has led to a new series of challenges in predicting
  future ice levels and their effect on global climate\, and also to a new 
 series of opportunities for the hydrocarbon and marine industries. A numbe
 r of current scientific and technical problems thus rely on an understandi
 ng of the behaviour of ice. Dr Lishman will discuss these scientific and t
 echnical problems within their political context\, and give an introductio
 n to the physical behaviour of ice at the poles. He will also discuss his 
 own work on ice friction\, and its varied applications.
