DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alberto Alberello\, School of Mathematics\, University of 
 East Anglia\, Norwich\, UK\nAbstract:\nSea ice is the largest ecosystem on
  Earth and plays a central role in the climate system. New record lows for
  Antarctic sea ice extent have been set in 2023\, highlighting the urgent 
 need to understand its dynamics in response to anthropogenic climate chang
 e.\nThe marginal ice zone (MIZ)\, where sea ice properties are affected by
  interaction with ocean waves\, is the exterior dynamic region that regula
 tes air-sea heat and momentum exchanges at large spatial scales and\, ther
 efore\, the seasonal cycle of advance and retreat.\nIn this talk I will pr
 esent field measurements of waves and sea ice properties conducted during 
 the Southern oCean seAsonaL Experiment (SCALE) in the winter and spring An
 tarctic marginal ice zone to highlight wave-sea ice feedback mechanisms. M
 oreover\, I willI discuss the importance of including wave-related process
 es in future climate models.\n\nShort biography:\nDr Alberto Alberello has
  BSc and MSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Politecnico di Mi
 lano (Italy) and PhD in Science from Swinburne University of Technology (A
 ustralia\; 2017) where he worked on extreme ocean waves. This was followed
  by postdoctoral experiences during which he investigated waves-sea ice in
 teractions combining field measurements and physical and mathematical mode
 lling in: Tokyo (Japan\; as a fellow of the Japanese Society for the Promo
 tion of Sciences)\, Torino (Italy)\, Adelaide (Australia) and Melbourne (A
 ustralia). As part of these projects\, Alberto also led oceanographic data
  collection during 4 voyages to the Antarctic marginal ice zone\, 3 of whi
 ch in the austral winter\, onboard the South African icebreaker SA Agulhas
  II as part of the Southern oCean seAsonaL Experiment (SCALE). In November
  2021\, Alberto joined the School of Mathematics at the University of East
  Anglia (Norwich\, UK) where he continues working – amongst other projec
 ts – on the mathematical modelling of ocean waves and sea ice dynamics b
 ased on field measurements.\n\n
