DESCRIPTION:Ice is one of the most powerful agents for environmental chang
 e on Earth. We are most aware of that in this country when we drive over p
 otholes after a harsh winter. The same forces weather rocks\, bring stones
  to the surface of fields and create landforms\, particularly in regions o
 f permafrost. The ice in arctic regions keeps our planet temperate both by
  storing heat between seasons and by reflecting sunlight. As the oceans fr
 eeze\, dense brine is generated that drives large-scale circulations\, of 
 which the Gulf Stream forms a part. My talk will range over these phenomen
 a\, illustrating several of them with experiments\, and introduce the ways
  in which mathematics can be used to make predictions.
