This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of
Arctic ice shelves, ice islands and related features. Ice shelves
are permanent areas of ice which float on the ocean surface while
attached to the coast, and typically occur in very cold
environments where perennial sea ice builds up to great thickness,
and/or where glaciers flow off the land and are preserved on the
ocean surface. These landscape features are relatively poorly
studied in the Arctic, yet they are potentially highly sensitive
indicators of climate change because they respond to changes in
atmospheric, oceanic and glaciological conditions. Recent
fracturing and breakup events of ice shelves in the Canadian High
Arctic have attracted significant scientific and public attention,
and produced large ice islands which may pose a risk to Arctic
shipping and offshore infrastructure. Much has been published about
Antarctic ice shelves, but to date there has not been a dedicated
book about Arctic ice shelves or ice islands. This book fills that
gap.
