The results of a Brillouin scattering study of the room temperature phases of H2;O (liquid, ice VI and ice VII) up to 30 GPa are presented. Longitudinal elastic moduli thus obtained are compared with values of the bulk modulus obtained from density measurements [1] and with both static and molecular dynamics calculations of the bulk modulus using potentials which have been proposed in studies of the liquid state. The calculations indicate that the potentials are not capable of describing the high pressure region of ice VII.
