《寒冷地區(qū)科學(xué)與技術(shù)》是一份國際期刊，研究極地和溫帶地區(qū)寒冷環(huán)境的科學(xué)和技術(shù)問題。它包括應(yīng)用于寒冷地區(qū)問題的冰凍圈科學(xué)的基本方面以及與冰凍圈有關(guān)的工程課題。重點是應(yīng)用科學(xué)的廣泛覆蓋的物理和機械方面的冰(包括冰川和海冰)，雪和雪崩，冰水系統(tǒng)，冰結(jié)合土壤和永久凍土。地球科學(xué)、材料科學(xué)、近海和河流冰工程的有關(guān)方面也是主要的興趣。這些包括結(jié)冰的船舶和結(jié)構(gòu)以及在寒冷環(huán)境下的通行能力。寒冷地區(qū)在研究、開發(fā)和工程實踐方面的技術(shù)進步與該雜志有關(guān)。理論論文必須包括詳細討論該理論在解決寒冷地區(qū)問題中的潛在應(yīng)用。該雜志服務(wù)于廣泛的專家，為跨學(xué)科交流提供了一個媒介和一個方便的參考來源。

Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
