its physics, chemistry, biology, geology and societal importance
"I vividly remember coming up with the concept of an edited book on sea ice while attending the EASIZ Symposium at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven in June 1999. While there were several books available covering the physics of ice, or the biology and chemistry, there was no contemporary book that adequately tried to bring the various disciplines together in one forum. From its infancy the study of sea ice was underpinned by a multidisciplinary approach in the field and so the concept was to try to replicate the approach in a summary tome, where key facets of a research discipline could be explained"--
