Sea Ice

Any form of ice originating from seawater. Sea ice poses a geologic hazard when it destabilizes shorelines via erosion of tidal flats and bluff bases. Neuendorf, K.K.E., Mehl, J.P., Jr., and Jackson, J.A., eds., 2011, Glossary of Geology: Alexandria, Virginia, American Geological Institute, 799 p.
