Overview

This book presents the fundamental laws of sea ice drift, as derived from the material properties of sea ice, the basic laws of mechanics, and the latest modeling techniques. Topics covered include the science of sea ice drift, forecasting velocity based on volume, size and shape, sea ice ridging and remote sensing, modelling of ice conditions, and the role of sea ice drift in oceanography, marine ecology and engineering.

From the reviews: ""This is the first comprehensive text on dynamics of sea ice, a historic first! ! The book is the first pedagogic collection of knowledge on this subject matter. It is of sufficient depth that it will be referenced often from the shelves of researchers on sea ice but also of sufficient clarity and background that it serves as an excellent textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. ! timing of this book is excellent as it coincides with the dawning of the International Polar year.""
