DESCRIPTION:When I started modelling wave scattering by sea ice in 1991\, 
 even the simplest two-dimensional model of wave scattering by a single ice
  floe had not been solved accurately. By 1996 I had developed three-dimens
 ional models for an ice floe and a paradigm for the inclusion of scatterin
 g in wave prediction code. Some of this work was done during a month I spe
 nt at the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge in 1995.Looking back
 \, and returning to Cambridge 22 years later\, it is striking (and slightl
 y depressing) how progress on this topic has stalled. The reasons for this
  are largely mathematical and in this talk I will try and give a flavour o
 f these difficulties and suggest some possible methods to tackle them.
