The recent announcement that Soviet icebreakers would be available for commercial ventures in the Arctic Ocean is especially welcome because it opens the possibility that western scientists will for the first time have access to mobile platforms from which scientific research can be conducted in virtually any part of the Arctic Ocean Basin. BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND TRANSLATION PROGRAMS The standard geological literature is the primary repository of the written and graphic record of geoscience data and interpretations, including the Arctic, but many of the primary sources, especially in the USSR, are not known or readily available in the West.

SMALL MEETINGS International scientific cooperation among active investigators in arctic solid-earth geoscience would be fostered if the research results were exchanged in small meetings of moderately restricted topical focus. Such meetings would be more successful in bringing together working scientists from all of the arctic nations than large, high-prestige multidisciplinary conferences.
