Science into Policy: Global Lessons from Antarctica reveals a unique model for integrating Earth system science with environmental and resource policies to balance economic, governmental, and societal interests. Since the International Geophysical Year in 1957-1958, scientific investigation has fostered international cooperation and the rational use of Antarctica for peaceful purposes only. Beyond merely presenting information, this book integrates content and concepts in a manner that will appeal to individuals with interests in the natural and the social sciences.

• Integrated chapters convey the natural and the human dimensions of Antarctica
• Time and space concepts are introduced from diverse perspectives to facilitate insights into ecosystem and environmental variability
• Included CD-ROM provides searchable access to a comprehensive database of Antarctic Treaty documents
• The author has been leading international expeditions to “the ice” for the past three decades
