Symposium on Ice and Climate Proceedings

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Partial support is requested for publication of the proceedings from the "Symposium on Ice and Climate" scheduled for August 21-25, 1989, at the University of Washington at Seattle, Washington. The Symposium is being sponsored by the International Glaciological Society, with co-sponsorship from the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society. It will be concerned with natural forms of ice on land and sea with focus on, (1) information obtained from ice about climate processes and past climates, (2) physical processes by which ice influences climate change, and (3) practical means by which ice effects can be incorporated into large-scale climate models. The goal is to achieve a cross-coupling between snow, ice and climate scientists and it is expected that the papers presented at the symposium will provide the most recent information on climate reconstruction from ice data, and the active role of snow and ice in climate processes. The execution of the Symposium on the campus of the University of Washington will be funded through registration fees paid by participants and the International Glaciological Society will publish proceedings as Volume 14 of the Annals of Glaciology. The cost of the publication will be covered, in part, by income from subscriptions. This request is for the remainder of the publication cost.
