Description
The aim of the symposium was to develop a better understanding of the ice deformation process and the role of ice movements in the atmosphere-ice- ocean-system. The major objective was to bring together the researchers who have made significant by various scales of the study of sea ice and those who have made contributions to the mechanics of sea ice and to establish a common understanding of the processes.
