Work has been completed on a volume of the "Oceanology of the Antarctic Continental Shelf." This is the first oceanology volume to focus on this unusually deep continental shelf region, which is of particular interest because of its climatic role in the production of sea ice, ventilation of the deep ocean, and wastage of the antarctic ice

The Antarctic Research Series is a book series designed to serve scientists and graduate students actively engaged in antarctic or closely related research and others versed in the biological or physical sciences. It continues to be the publication medium for extensive reports on antarctic research that are too lengthy or comprehensive for inclusion in standard disciplinary journals. The Series has been published by the American Geophysical Union since 1963 with continuing grant support of the National Science Foundation (DPP 80-19997). Breaking with traditional format, the Series provides for rapid publication with soft-cover minibooks which allow papers to be published as they are completed or as results become available. Usually two or three closely related articles are published together. Individuals may purchase the separate minibooks or subscribe to a volume. Libraries with standing orders receive the individual papers as they are published and bind them when all papers within a specific volume have been published. Each paper is assigned to a thematic volume. Several topical volumes may be in publication simultaneously. Priorities for publication are set by the Board of Associate Editors, which works with the individual editors of each volume to assure that the objectives of the series are met, that the best possible papers are presented, and that publication is achieved in a timely manner. All papers in the series are subject to peer review. After scientific review and revision are complete, papers are reviewed by an American Geophysical Union copy editor for style, consistency, and general publication requirements. After the author has confirmed that changes made by the copy editor are satisfactory, the paper is typed to strict American Geophysical Union specifications. Authors who have access to electric typewriters or word-processing equipment are urged to 1985 REVIEW
