Book Description
Zoya Kundara has lived on the space vessel Star Road for two hundred fifty years. As its Ship Mother, kept alive in a state of pseudoimmortality, she has provided wisdom and counsel to succeeding generations of its crew, self-exiled survivors of earth’s great plague. But now, to escape the ravages of space radiation, the giant starship has returned to earth, only to discover a world on the verge of extinction, its barren surface blanketed in a crystalline substance that resembles ice and that is slowly, inexorably encapsulating the planet. Zoya is chosen as emissary to this strange new earth, and now she must approach its denizens and find a suitable home for her desperate crew among the shrinking lands. But what she finds shakes Zoya to her core: groups of humans huddled like moles in underground techno-warrens called preserves, and a pseudospiritual order known as the Ice Nuns, who seek control of the physics-defying crystals and enslave their disciples in their crazed quest for truth. For on this once green land, Ice and the science behind it are now the only God–and mastering this grand ecology of information the only higher calling. Allies are few and far between, but somehow Zoya must uncover the secrets of Ice and halt its expansion. That is, if the snow witches don’t get her first...

Book Description
This report summarizes 10 yesr of ice cover observations (1971-81) for 12 stations along the international section of the St. Lawrence River. For each station and season, the tables list date of freeze-over, date ice free, duration of solid ice cover, maximum ice thickness, and date of maximum ice thickness. Mean dates of freeze-over range from January 1 to January 17, while mean dates of ice free conditions range from February 25 to March 23. The longest mean ice cover duration is 79 days and the shortest is 48 days. The mean maximum ice thickness varies between 23 cm and 56 cm. The mean date of this maximum is as early as February 9 and as late as March 5. Observations were taken during a period that contained 5 winters colder than normal and 5 winters warmer than normal, when compared to an 80-year record of air temperature.

Book Description
This report is a continuation of the current observational program and presents data on ice thickness during the 1960-61 and 1961-62 seasons. The network has been expanded to Alaska during this period and some station changes have taken place. These changes are discussed and some supplemental ice thickness data for two stations on the east coast of Greenland are presented. The data are presented in their original form in order to make them fully available to potential users. Analysis has been limited to a study of maximum ice thicknesses. (Author).

Book Description
Ice Age Earth provides the first detailed review of global environmental change in the Late Quaternary. Significant geological and climatic events are analysed within a review of glacial and periglacial history. The melting history of the last ice sheets reveals that complex, dynamic and catastrophic change occurred, change which affected the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans and the stability of the Earth's crust.
