National Academy of Sciences-Academy of Sciences of the USSR Workshop on the Mechanics of Ice and Its Applications Held in Moscow and Leningrad on June 16-26, 1991
The United States and the former Soviet Union have strong common interests in obtaining a better understanding of the behavior of ice at all scales. In particular, Russia and the United States have vast resources in the North, notably off the shelves of Alaska and Siberia. In order to safely and eco...

The United States and the former Soviet Union have strong common interests in obtaining a better understanding of the behavior of ice at all scales. In particular, Russia and the United States have vast resources in the North, notably off the shelves of Alaska and Siberia. In order to safely and economically exploit these resources, both countries require an in-depth understanding of the movement of the ice cover, the forces which moving ice can exert against bottom founded structures, and the ice resistance on vessels used to transport these resources to market. The goal of the Ice Mechanics Workshop was to facilitate the exchange of technical information between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although specialists in both countries had made great efforts to keep abreast of each other's achievements, the exchange of ice technology between the two countries could be characterized as poor. This was primarily due to language barriers and constraints on communication and distribution of literature. |
