Journal of Glaciology

期刊简介：Journal of Glaciology publishes original scientific articles and letters in any aspect of glaciology- the study of ice. Studies of natural, artificial, and extraterrestrial ice and snow, as well as interactions between ice, snow and the atmospheric, oceanic and subglacial environment are all eligible. They may be based on field work, remote sensing, laboratory investigations, theoretical analysis or numerical modelling, or may report on newly developed glaciological instruments. Subjects covered recently in the Journal have included palaeoclimatology and the chemistry of the atmosphere as revealed in ice cores; theoretical and applied physics and chemistry of ice; the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets, and changes in their extent and mass under climatic forcing; glacier energy balances at all scales; glacial landforms, and glaciers as geomorphic agents; snow science in all its aspects; ice as a host for surface and subglacial ecosystems; sea ice, icebergs and lake ice; and avalanche dynamics and other glacial hazards to human activity. Studies of permafrost and of ice in the Earth’s atmosphere are also within the domain of the Journal, as are interdisciplinary applications to engineering, biological, and social sciences, and studies in the history of glaciology.

【译文】冰川学杂志发表关于冰川学（冰的研究）的原创科学文章和信件。包括对自然、人工和地球外冰和雪的研究，以及冰、雪与大气、海洋和地下环境之间的相互作用。这些研究可能基于实地工作、遥感、实验室调查、理论分析或数值模拟，或者可能报告新开发的冰川学仪器。最近在杂志中涵盖的主题包括古气候学和冰芯揭示的大气化学；冰的理论和应用物理学和化学；冰川和冰盖的动力学及其在气候强迫下的范围和质量变化；所有尺度的冰川能量平衡；冰川地貌，以及冰川作为地貌作用力；所有方面的雪科学；冰作为地表和地下生态系统的宿主；海冰、冰山和湖冰；以及雪崩动力学和其他对人类活动构成威胁的冰川灾害。对永冻土和地球大气中冰的研究也属于该杂志的范畴，以及跨学科应用于工程、生物和社会科学，以及冰川学历史的研究。
