Applied Glaciology—the Utilization of Ice and Snow in Arctic Operations
Abstract In addition to field observations and quantitative analyses of natural phenomena, an opportunity exists for the application of glaciological knowledge. Major problems preventing the widespread use of ice and snow as structural materials are related to processing methods, properties of ice a...
