Glacier science and environmental change
1 online resource (xiv, 527 pages, 24 unnumbered pages of plates : : illustrations (some color), maps.)
Reference compilation covering contemporary glaciology and interface with environmental change, past, present and future. With 92 contributions from glaciologists, geologists, hydrologists and climatologists, volume presents established common ground, but also reflects current uncertainty and controversy where papers expressing opposing views (on, e.g., mechanisms of ice deformation within ice sheets) appear side-by-side. Five parts cover: glaciers and their coupling with hydraulic and sedimentary processes; glacier composition, mechanics and dynamics; glaciers, oceans, atmosphere and climate; changing glaciers and their role in earth surface evolution; the practice of glaciology.
