Electrical Phenomena During Freezing of Water and Soils

This title reviews the history of observations of electrical phenomena in nature, laboratory measurements of freezing potentials in water, aqueous solutions, and soils that are generated by charge separation during freezing, as well as field measurements of electrical potentials occurring during fre...
