Cold Regions Bibliographies

Access: Publicly available resource

Description: Search the Antarctic Bibliography and the Bibliography on Cold Regions Science and Technology databases for materials on the science and technology of the world's cold regions. Together, these bibliographies contain over 200,000 records, many with abstracts, from journal articles, monographs, technical reports, conference proceedings and "grey" literature.

  • The Antarctic Bibliography covers all disciplines related to the region including biological and geological sciences, medical sciences, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric and terrestrial physics, expeditions, logistics equipment and supplies, and tourism.
  • The Bibliography on Cold Regions Science and Technology includes references to scientific and engineering research related to material and operations in a winter battlefield, the nature and impact of cold on facilities and activities, cold-related environmental problems, and the impact of human activity on cold environments.

Indexes and Abstracts to the Bibliography dating from Sept. 1951 to December 1973 are available through the Library of Congress Technical Reports and Standards Unit (TRS). Also try the Roger G. Barry Resource Office for Cryospheric Studies (ROCS) at NSIDC, an information resource for people studying Earth's frozen regions, the history of science, or past climate related to the cryosphere.
