POTSDAM — Dr. Hayley Shen a professor emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Clarkson, and her international research team, are trying to predict how the changes in the Earth’s climate may affect the ice conditions in the Arctic by using computational modelling.

Dr. Shen has established a model that can be used to help forecast waves in areas of the ocean that are covered by ice. 

Shen and her team focus on how waves change as they move through a body of water covered with ice and how new ice growth is affected by the wave conditions.  

Shen’s research has been recently published in Scientia. You can read it all here: https://www.scientia.global/wp-content/uploads/Hayley_Shen/Hayley_Shen.pdf .
