International Sea Ice Conference, Reykjavík, Iceland, 10-13 May 1971 An International Sea Ice Conference was held May 10—13 in Reykjavík, Iceland, spon- sored by the National Research Council of Ice- land and cosponsored by the Bauer Scientific Trust, Washington D.C. Financial support of the conference was given by Unesco. In recent years ice problems and their re- levance to oceanographic and meteorological studies have received increased attention. This is reflected in more emphasis on ice research and the conduct of various conferences on polar problems. In January—February 1969 a national conference on Arctic ice problems with special emphasis on sea ice near Iceland was held in Reykjavlk. This conference was report- ed in the 1969 issue of Jökull. The inter- national confercence was organized as a result of the national conference. The conference was divided into five differ- ent categories: regional studies with 11 papers, observational techniques with 6 papers, rela- tionship between sea ice and climate with 5 papers, sea ice mechanics with 5 papers, and remote sensing techniques with 5 papers. In addition there was a general session in which 5 papers were presented. The conference was attended by 75 scientists from 11 countries. Only a few of the papers presented at tlie conference will be mentioned here. Professor N. Untersteiner from the University of Wash- ington discussed the “Scientific Plan for the Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint Experiment (AID- JEX)”. Dr. \'<)lkov from the Arctic and Ant- arctic Research Institute in Leningrad present- ed an interesting paper entitled “On the status of long range ice forecasting” and this topic was also discussed in the paper by Uralov ancl Lebedev of the same Institute which carried the title “Sea ice forecasting in the North At- lantic and adjacent seas”. A paper by W. J. Campbell and L. A. Ras- mussen, “A numerical model for sea ice dyna- mics incorporating three alternative constitu- 70 JÖKULL 21. ÁR tive laws” aroused lively discussions, especially with a view towards the possibilities of a numerical model of the sea ice drift in the East Greenlancl current. Professor T. Tabata frorn the Institute of Low Temperature Sci- ence at Hokkaido University in Japan present- ed “Observadons of deformation and rnove- ment of ice field with the sea ice radar net- work” and showed some remarkable time lapse movies of the ice movement as seen on the radar screen. Dr. Charles Swithinbank of the Scott Polar Research Institute in England presentecl an interesting report on a British nuclear-powered submarine trip to the North Pole in Marcli 1971. This report marked the first time that upward-looking echosounder data on the bot- tom fopography of the sea ice cover has been rnade available to civilian sciendsts. The conference approved a resolution calling upon the National Research Council of Ice- land, through diplomatic or other appropriate channels, to bring to the attendon of states interested in the Arctic and states signatory to the Antartic Treaty the need for: 1. Standardization of techniques of observing, reporting and recording sea-ice plteno- mena. 2. Free international exchange of raw and processed sea-ice data and for its storage in world data centers. 3. Increased integration and coordination of research into sea-ice problems along lines at present being planned or carried out by governments or under the auspices of the Worlcl Meteorological Organization, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, International Council for the Exploration of the Seas, the Scientific Com- mittee on Oceanic Research. 4. An integrated program of oceanographic and meteorological observations and re-
