Cold Regions Science And Engineering Monograph

The monograph summarizes existing knowledge on forces exerted by an expanding ice sheet, impact forces of ice on structures, and vertical forces exerted by ice on hydraulic structures. Sections are also devoted to icebreakers and ice models. (Author).

The monograph outlines the influence of a cold environment on sanitary engineering works and services. It then deals with water supply in cold regions: sources, distribution systems, treatment processes and possible future supply from other than geological sources. (Author).

The purpose of this work is to provide those contemplating scientific or engineering activities in cold regions with a general picture of their geology and physiography. The cold regions are the Arctic, Alaska, Canadian Arctic and subarctic, Greenland, Iceland, Jan Mayen Svalbard, Scandinavia, U.S.S.R., and the Antarctica.
