Guest Editorial: Cryospheric Science and Engineering
Abstract
This Special Issue of Cold Regions Science and Technology contains a sampling of papers that were presented at the Cryospheric Science and Engineering Symposium held at the U.S. Army ERDC Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab in Hanover, NH on 19 October 2006. The Symposium brought together cold regions engineers and scientists to share results on topics spanning many cold regions issues. Some of the topics have been important endeavors for many decades. Other topics are new areas arising from innovations in sensing and technology to address issues driven by climate change and/or the impact of human activity on the environment. The most detailed naturally-archives records of environment and climate are found in ice cores drilled in polar and high-altitude regions. How did ice coring science get its start? The Langway paper provides a description of the IGY-era activities and international development of the early polar ice cores.
