The problem & the solution
Melting Glacier

Catastrophe
Geoengineering project becomes potentially critical mitigation
The Seabed Curtain Project, a multi-national geoengineering initiative coordinated by University of the Arctic, aims to deploy underwater barriers to slow Antarctic glacier collapse and mitigate global sea level rise.
Research
At the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Yecheng works with Professor David Holland developing MITgcm simulations to model seabed curtain effectiveness in reducing warm water intrusion beneath ice shelves. His computational work provides critical design parameters for the Seabed Curtain Project's engineering specifications and complements Professor Holland's field expeditions to Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier.

Fundraising
During UN Climate Week, Prof. Holland led a team to present the initiative at the Explorers Club. Alongside Dr. Mondal, James explained the design of simulations and feasibility implications to potential funders.
