This page provides a
guide to different topics covering the Science of Snowflakes.
First, a couple references: |
 "Physical
Dynamics of Ice Crystal Growth," by Kenneth G. Libbrecht, Annual
Reviews of Materials Research, 2017. 47:271–95.
This is a detailed review paper describing much of what is currently
known about how ice crystals grow. It's a dense read, with much
information relegated to the references. |
"The Snowflake: Winter's Frozen Artistry," by Kenneth
Libbrecht and Rachel Wing, 2015, Voyageur Press.
This is a popular-science book, describing snowflake science in a more
readable format, but with much less scientific detail. |
The pages listed below are my attempt to describe the science in
detail, as in a scientific review paper, but with the readability of a
popular-science book. The goal is essentially an annotated scientific review, intended for students, scientists,
and any others interested in the science of snowflakes at a fairly advanced level. |

| This new Snowflake Science section of my website is still under construction. You can expect additional topics in the upcoming weeks and months. |
