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 Aerospace Medical Association Link: http://www.clockss.org/clockss/News#IAero Managing Editor of Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine Pamela Day says, “The Aerospace Medical Association is delighted to be part of CLOCKSS.
