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.
Glacier science and environmental change. For the reader in a hurry, the new Cuffey and Paterson fourth edition of The physics of glaciers defines the science of glaciers even better than the first three editions, and is a must-read for students and professionals in the field.
2 lis 2021 · The first part of the book investigates the processes involved in forming glacier ice, the nature of glacier-climate relationships, the mechanisms of glacier flow and the interactions of glaciers with other natural systems such as rivers, lakes and oceans.
A knowledge of glacial systems and glaciated landscapes is an asset in subject areas beyond their traditional home in geography; for example, in earth sciences, physics, engineering, and biological sciences.
Abstract. 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. Since then, research on the Earth ...
18 cze 2010 · This book covers various aspects of glacier studies, including the transformation of snow to ice, grain-scale structures and ice deformation, mass exchange processes, glacial hydrology, glacier flow, and the impact of climate change.
