Report No. 4 of the Filchner Ronne lce Shelf Programme (FRlSP) contains summaries of papers presented at three meetings, held in Oslo in 1988, Bremerhaven in 1989 and Cambridge in 1990. FRISP is a subcommittee of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Working Group on Glaciology, whose purpose is to stimulate and coordinate glaciological research on the Filchner/Ronne ice shelves. Representatives from a number of countries, Finland, Norway, Sweden, U.K, U.S.A. and West Germany have attended meetings; it is a matter of regret that so far we have been unable to welcome representatives from other countries such as Argentina and USSR which have carried out work and have interests in the area. The first three FRISP Reports contained summaries of, respectively, 1) glaciological investigations carried out before 1984, 2) results from the West German expedition of 1983/84 presented at a meeting in Bremerhaven in October 1984, and 3) presentations given at the second international workshop held in Cambridge in June 1986. Apart from 1987, international workshops have been held every year since 1985. Papers presented at these meetings often contain preliminary results, or plans for future work, that are of interest to all members of the community. Speakers have therefore been encouraged to submit for publication abrief written summary of their main conclusions. In this way, we hope to collect a useful compendium of data and results in a single (unrefereed) report series.
