The workshop recognized three prime functions of meteorite stranding surfaces. They provide: A proxy record of climatic change (that is, a long record of climatic change is probably preserved in the exposed ice stratigraphy); A proxy record of ice volume change; and A source of unique nonterrestrial material. sponsored by Division of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, Lunar and Planetary Institute. edited by W.A.
