GEOCRI Webinar: Process-oriented snow and ice thermodynamics and coupling in the polar oceans and boreal lakes: Data analyses and modelling
Join the GEO Cold Regions Initiative for the “GEOCRI Webinar: Process-oriented snow and ice thermodynamics and coupling in the polar oceans and boreal lakes: Data analyses and modelling,” hosted on the GEOCRI Webinar page. This session will examine the physical processes governing snow and ice thermodynamics, with a focus on how coupling mechanisms influence energy exchange and system evolution in polar oceans and boreal lakes. Participants will gain insights into how integrated data analyses and modelling approaches can strengthen understanding and improve predictive capability in cold-region environments.

Bin Cheng's Bio:
Cheng Bin is a senior scientist at the Meteorological Research Unit of the Finnish Meteoro-ogical Institute (FMI),and an adjunct professor in the Department of Physics, University of Hel-sinki. His research focuses on sustainable snow and ice observation, remote sensing applica-tions, numerical simulation, operational forecasting, and climate change in the Arctic, AntarcticBaltic Sea, Bohai Sea, cold and arid regions, and high-altitude lakes. The HIGHTSI numericalmodel, which he developed, has been used multiple times for research projects funded by theNational Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Natural Science Foundation ofFinland, the Finnish Agency for Technology and Innovation, the Finnish Academy of Sciencesthe European Space Agency, and the European Union, as well as for sea ice forecasting servicesin the Baltic Sea (Finland) and at China's Zhongshan Station in Antarctica. He has published 145peer -reviewed journal articles and currently serves as the executive editor of the journals Ad-vances in Polar Science (APS), Polar Science and EngineeringOPSE), The Cryosphere(TC), andNP] Climate and Atmospheric Sciences.
