This conference considered the feasibility of using icebergs from the Arctic and Antarctic for water supply for arid areas. Topics include iceberg characteristics, ocean circulation, drift of icebergs, melting and preservation, transport and handling, and environmental aspects.

Ice in the Ocean examines sea ice and icebergs and their role in the global climate system. It is comprehensive textbook suitable for students, pure and applied researchers, and anyone interested in the polar regions, the oceans, and climate. The author examines the distribution of sea ice, its mechanisms of growth, development and decay, the thermodynamics and dynamics of sea ice, sea ice deformation and ridge-building, the role of marginal ice zones, the characteristics of icebergs, and the part played by sea ice in the climate system and in the transport of pollutants. An extensive reference list, recommendations for further reading and numerous illustrations add to the value of the text.

This bibliography includes 379 annotated citations to works on ice scour, defined as the disturbance of the bottom sediments of a water body by floating ice. Works describing ice scour conditions in specific locations are arranged geographically by region. Other works are assigned to the following subject categories: theory or modelling of ice scour; and protection of sea-bed structures such as pipelines from ice scour. Includes subject, geographic, author, title, and serial indexes.
