This Volume constitutes the Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on
'Scaling Laws in Ice Mechanics and Ice Dynamics', held in
Fairbanks, Alaska from 13th to 16th of June 2000. Ice mechanics
deals with essentially intact ice: in this discipline, descriptions
of the motion and deformation of Arctic/ Antarctic and river/lake
ice call for the development of physically based constitutive and
fracture models over an enormous range in scale: 0.01 m - 10 km.
Ice dynamics, on the other hand, deals with the movement of broken
ice: descriptions of an aggregate of ice floes call for accurate
modeling of momentum transfer through the sea/ice system, again
over an enormous range in scale: 1 km (floe scale) - 500 km (basin
scale). For ice mechanics, the emphasis on lab-scale (0.01 - 0.5 m)
research con trasts with applications at the scale of order 1 km
(ice-structure interaction, icebreaking); many important upscaling
questions remain to be explored.
