Comment by the International Glaciological Society: "The development
of glaciological knowledge has taken more than just long hours in the
laboratory. Often the most precious information comes from hard,
dangerous (not to mention cold and uncomfortable) field work in remote
places on earth. Given that the dissemination of this hard-won
knowledge is now more than ever dependent on the internet and on
electronic media, it is ever so important to ensure the integrity and
safety of glaciological knowledge to be passed on to generations to
come. The International Glaciological Society, the premier publisher
of glaciological knowledge covering all aspects of ice, snow, climate
and human impacts, has elected to protect the integrity and future
survival of glaciological knowledge by opting to protect its online
archives in a technologically appropriate manner."
About The International Glaciological Society: The International
Glaciological Society was founded in 1936 to provide a focus for
individuals interested in practical and scientific aspects of snow and
ice. The objects of the Society enshrined in its Constitution are to
stimulate interest in and encourage research into the scientific and
technical problems of snow and ice in all countries; facilitate and
increase the flow of glaciological ideas and information; publish the
Journal of Glaciology, the Annals of Glaciology, ICE, the News
Bulletin of the International Glaciological Society, other appropriate
publications, such as books and monographs; sponsor lectures, field
meetings, and symposia. http://www.igsoc.org
