What is Process Modeling? with Dr. Amy Solomon

In this specific lesson, Dr. Amy Solomon defines process modeling as an iterative process between observations and theory. You'll learn with specific examples how scientists in both the SHEBA and MOSAiC expeditions move through this process in their work.

This video is part of a collection called “Frozen in the Ice: Exploring the Arctic,” offered through the online course platform Coursera, about the extraordinary MOSAiC Arctic research mission that has frozen an icebreaker into the Arctic Ocean, where it will drift for 13 months (mosaic-expedition.org).

In this course, you’ll hear directly from more than three dozen MOSAiC scientists and Arctic experts as they summarize the core of their research, what types of data they collect during MOSAiC on the ice, under the sea, and in the air and describe why this expedition is so key for increasing our understanding of the Arctic and global climate systems.
