This bibliography on carbon dioxide snow cleaning has been complied with the intent to list all publications. The list is from mostly manufacturers, or their agents, and these papers generally discuss methods and applications. Papers and reports from users can be included too. We want them!!! Please note, only papers related to snow cleaning are included.
We need input from you, the reader. If you know of a paper, please email the reference and mail us a copy. For the most part, present copywrite laws prevents us from duplicating papers and mailing them; however, if we are the authors, we can send copies.
In compiling this list, we used the standard that the paper must be in writing!!! Oral presentation without any evidence of the printed word are not included. For papers to be listed, a copy or a reference to a journal, book, or whatever, needs to be sent.
