Workshop on the Mechanics of Ice and Its Applications

Abstract

In accordance with the Agreement on Scientific Cooperation Between the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the Academy of Sciences (ASUSSR), the 'Workshop on the Mechanics of Ice and Its Applications' was held in Moscow and Leningrad, USSR from June 16-26, 1991. Dr. Wilford F. Weeks, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a professor at University of Alaska at Fairbanks served as the American chair. Upon the completion of the workshop, the NAS requested comments from Dr. Weeks on the quality of the program and the state of the scientific field. The following is a summary of his report based on his own personal observations. Though Dr. Weeks has incorporated information included in trip reports from individual participants, the views expressed herein are those of Dr. Weeks only and do not necessarily represent the views of the individual participants or sponsoring organizations.
