New technique more accurately reflects ponds on Arctic sea ice 04/11/2018 03:30 PM EDT This one simple mathematical trick can accurately predict the shape and melting effects of ponds on Arctic sea ice, according to new research by UChicago scientists. The study, published April 4 in Physical Review Letters by researchers with UChicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, should help climate scientists improve models of climate change and perhaps plug a gap between scientific predictions and observations over the past decade, they said.
