Ron Lindsay's current interests are centered in modeling ice movement and growth in the Arctic. He has developed a new Lagrangian model of sea ice that is used for assimilating ice trajectory data from satellites in order to obtain spatially and temporally complete fields of the ice motion and to obtain improved estimates of the internal ice stress. He is working with RGPS data as well as other satellite-based and insitu observations. He is also working with the PSC Eulerian model in analyzing the ice thickness changes and hemispheric circulation patterns. He is active in the RGPS Science Working Group, and pursues interests in data assimilation, statistical analysis, ice dynamics and kinematics, and climate change in the Arctic.
