Sea Ice provides a comprehensive review of our current available
knowledge of polar pack ice, the study of which is severely constrained
by the logistic difficulties of working in such harsh and remote regions
of the earth. The book's editors, Drs Thomas and Dieckmann have drawn
together an impressive group of international contributing authors,
providing a well-edited and integrated volume, which will stand for many
years as the standard work on the subject. Contents of the book include
details of the growth, microstructure and properties of sea ice,
large-scale variations in thickness and characteristics, its primary
production, micro-and macrobiology, sea ice as a habitat for birds and
mammals, sea ice biogeochemistry, particulate flux, and the distribution
and significance of palaeo sea ice.
