Description
<p>Dive into research, materials and progress of reflective materials to prevent ice melting with Dr. Leslie Field, Founder of Bright Ice and Arctic Ice Project (<a href="https://www.arcticiceproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.arcticiceproject.org/</a>)</p>
<p>Learn about Arctic Ice Project, and Bright Ice a nonprofit that plans to inhibit glacial melting by adding a safe, reflective material to the surface of dirty ice and water to brighten (<a href="www.brighticeinitiative.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.brighticeinitiative.org</a>)</p>
<p>Explore >10um Si microspheres such as 3M™ Glass Bubbles materials, dynamics, lifespan, , and environment savings with potential to mitigate 1.02°C rise and sea ice volume mitigation of about 8% per 1C rise, and with up to 40% increase in lifespan of ice. Even adding 1% of Arctic sea ice is enough to make a significant difference in overall reflectivity.</p>
