Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of Arctic ice shelves, ice islands and related features. Ice shelves are permanent areas of ice which float on the ocean surface while attached to the coast, and typically occur in very cold environments where perennial sea ice builds up to great thickness, and/or where glaciers flow off the land and are preserved on the ocean surface. These landscape features are relatively poorly studied in the Arctic, yet they are potentially highly sensitive indicators of climate change because they respond to changes in atmospheric, oceanic and glaciological conditions. Recent fracturing and breakup events of ice shelves in the Canadian High Arctic have attracted significant scientific and public attention, and produced large ice islands which may pose a risk to Arctic shipping and offshore infrastructure. Much has been published about Antarctic ice shelves, but to date there has not been a dedicated book about Arctic ice shelves or ice islands. This book fills that gap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Information on glaciers throughout Canada has been collected over the years under the auspices of the Canadian Glacier Inventory Project. With the increased industrial activity in the High Arctic and, in particular, because of offshore installations and shipping, there is a renewed demand for information on those glaciers and ice shelves that may contribute to offshore problems and on the glaciological conditions which sustain them. In response to requests from the private sector and with the encouragement of the Working Group on Ice of the Canadian Advisory Committee on Remote Sensing, the decision was made to make the information on the Ellesmere Island glaciers and ice shelves more widely available. Readers should note that there is a companion bibliography in the series entitled "Ice Islands of the Arctic Ocean""--Abstract, page v.
