This selected list of glaciological literature has been prepared by J. W. Glen with the asistance of T. H. Ellison, W. B. Harland, Miss D. M. Johnson, and the Staff of the Scott Polar Research Institute. Its field is the scientific study of snow and ice and of their effects on the earth; for the literature on polar expeditions, and also on the “applied” aspects of glaciology, such as snow-ploughs, readers should consult the bibliographies in each issue of the Polar Record. For Russian material the system of transliteration used is that agreed by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use in 1947. Readers can greatly assist by sending reprints of their publications to the Society, or by informing Dr. Glen of publications of glaciological interest.

In this list, to avoid repetition, the references to papers in the proceedings of a recent conference have been abbreviated. The full reference to the publication is given in the section Conferences below.
