Great question! The two most important thing about how frozen seawater behaves are:
1. How white it is
2. How strong it is
The colder the frozen seawater is, the whiter it gets. This means that it reflects more of the suns rays and slows down the melting process. It’s a bit like how wearing a white t-shirt on a hot day will keep you cooler than a black t-shirt.
In addition to this, the colder frozen seawater is, the stronger it gets which stops the ice breaking up and floating away from the poles.
It is going to take a lot of effort and quite a long time to stop the poles from melting! My research won’t provide the solution, but it will help predict how quickly the ice might melt so that people can come up with ideas of how we can stop the melting.
Your answer has really helped me understand your research because i read your profile but did not understand exactly what your research was but now i understand so thank you!
