6 kwi 2024 · The economics of adaptation to climate change is a relatively new area of research that aims to contribute to the selection of efficient adaptations or to assess whether adaptation actions that are already being implemented are efficient or not.
25 paź 2018 · Glaciation: A Very Short Introduction offers an overview of glaciers and ice sheets as systems, considering the role of geomorphology and sedimentology in studying them, and their impacts on our planet in terms of erosional and depositional processes.
In order to assess the economic damage of a hypothetical return to an ice age, we compute the evolution of average GDP per capita by country with or without the corresponding global cooling, following the methodology described in BHM using the replication data provided with their publication.
The ‘glacial theory’ championed by Louis Agassiz in the 19th century saw the beginning of the geological community’s partial acceptance of the concept of multiple and more extensive glaciations. Formal recognition of multiple glaciations came in 1909 with Penck and Brückner’s Alpine model.
Glaciation is the formation, movement and recession of glaciers. Glaciation was much more extensive in the past, when much of the world was covered in large, continental ice sheets. Currently, glaciers cover about 10 per cent of the world's land area (14.9 million km 2 ).

1 gru 2021 · A glaciation or glacial period is a geologically short period of time within an ice age characterized by very low surface temperatures and the advance of glaciers. The term differs from an “ice age” or more properly a “glacial age” that is defined as a long-term period of reduction in the temperature of the Earth’s surface and ...
