　　主讲人简介：

　　KENNETH C. JEZEK is a Professor Emeritus at the Byrd Polar Research Center, School of Earth Sciences of The Ohio State University (OSU).  He received the B.S. degree in physics from the University of Illinois in 1973.  He was in charge of the McMurdo Station, Antarctica cosmic ray laboratory during the winter-over of 1974.  Jezek received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geophysics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison where he studied the behavior of the Ross Ice Shelf Antarctica using ice sounding radar data collected during several visits to the Antarctic.  Before joining OSU’s Byrd Polar Research Center as Director in 1989, Dr. Jezek was a geophysicist with the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. There, he researched the electromagnetic and acoustical properties of sea ice in the lab and in the Arctic. He also served a two-year term as manager of NASA’s polar oceans and ice sheets program.  From 1997-2007 he led the Radarasat Antarctic Mapping Project.  From 2007 to 2010 he was co-leader of the International Polar Year GIIPSY project which involved the participation of 12 space agencies.  He chaired the Land Ice Science Team for NASA’s Operation Icebrdge from 2010-2013.  Since 1989, Dr. Jezek has served on 13 NRC committees and is currently a member of the Committee on Radio Frequencies.

　 　主题： Physical insight of sea ice in relation to remote sensing observations

　 　主讲人： Mohammed Shokr

　　主讲人简介：

　　Dr. MOHAMMED SHOKR is a research scientist emeritus with Environment Canada (the federal department of the environment).  He has been involved in several projects of sea ice physics and remote sensing.  He participated in several field campaigns in the Canadian Arctic and the East Coast regions to measure physical properties of sea ice, including microstructure, in relation to remote sensing observations.  He also developed algorithms to retrieve of sea ice parameters in support of the operational sea ice monitoring program in Canada.  This was coordinated with the Canadian Ice Service (the operational arm of sea ice monitoring and forecasting in Canada).  The algorithms involve retrieval of ice types and concentrations.  Dr. Shokr has been a PI of several studies on ice remote sensing, sponsored and funded by the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.  At the academic side Dr. Shokr taught remote sensing courses and supervised graduate students working on ice physics and remote sensing.  Recently, he co-authored a book, together with Dr. Nirmal Sinha of the National research Council of Canada, titled “Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing”.  The book has been published in My 2015 by Wiley and AGU (AGU geophysical monograph 209).
