Exploring the science in George R. R. Martin's fantastical world, from the physics of an ice wall to the genetics of the Targaryens and Lannisters. Game of Thrones is a fantasy that features a lot of made-up science—fabricated climatology (when is winter coming?), astronomy, metallurgy, chemistry, and biology. Most fans of George R.

Under-ice physical oceanographic processes
Journal of Marine Systems, 1991Abstract Although the sea ice cover is a stable platform to collect data from, it modifies the velocity and density structure of the underlying water column. The reasons for the seasonal changes of these physical oceanographic parameters need to be understood before changes in biological parameters can be explained.

The second edition of Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing has been revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in geophysical sensors and ice parameters retrieval techniques. This volume addresses experiences acquired mainly in Canada by researchers in the fields of ice physics and growth history in relation to its polycrystalline structure ...

The slipperiness of ice is poorly understood at a microscopic level. Experiments that probe how the surface of ice melts and flows in response to wear help to explain the exceptionally low friction that underpins winter sports. The properties of the thin meltwater layer found on the surface of ice.

To forecast the evolution of the sea ice cover in a particular region over a certain period of time, an automated prediction system must have a sea ice model. To produce these forecasts, a sea ice model requires information about the initial sea ice conditions and the atmospheric and oceanic forcing that largely govern the evolution of sea ice.

The great ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland are vast deposits of frozen freshwater that contain enough to raise sea level by approximately 70 m if they were to completely melt. Because of the potentially catastrophic impact that ice sheets can have, it is important that we understand how ice sheets have responded to past climate changes and will ...

Almost everybody likes ice cream, so it can provide an excellent vehicle for discussing and demonstrating a variety of physical phenomena, such as Newton's law of cooling, Boyle's law and the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties (e.g. Young's modulus).

Physical limnological processes under ice
Hydrobiologia, 1996Penetration of solar radiation through ice and snow covering northern lakes produces a gravity current between regions with varying depths. This baroclinic current is a dominant physical process in winter because ice cover insulates lakes from the usual turbulence sources such as breaking surface waves and near-surface shear produced by the wind.
