Book Description
Excerpt from Glacier Variations and Climatic Fluctuations Dr. Ahlmann's studies began in Norway in 1918, were extended to Spitsbergen in 1931, to Iceland in 1936, and to northeast Greenland in 19 39. The norwegian-british Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1949 - 1952, was largely a product of his planning and organization. In the summer of 1952, following the meeting in Washington, he made a brief visit to Southeastern Alaska under the auspices of the American Geographical Society, supported by funds generously provided by the Office of Naval Research. His objective was to observe the principal glaciological fea tures of that area and to evaluate the studies being made there by-this Society and others, in order to further the development of a well-integrated international program of glaciological-climatological research.

Book Description
Glacier Science and Environmental Change is an authoritative and comprehensive reference work on contemporary issues in glaciology. It explores the interface between glacier science and environmental change, in the past, present, and future. Written by the world’s foremost authorities in the subject and researchers at the scientific frontier where conventional wisdom of approach comes face to face with unsolved problems, this book provides: state-of-the-art reviews of the key topics in glaciology and related disciplines in environmental change cutting-edge case studies of the latest research an interdisciplinary synthesis of the issues that draw together the research efforts of glaciologists and scientists from other areas such as geologists, hydrologists, and climatologists color-plate section (with selected extra figures provided in color at www.blackwellpublishing.com/knight). The topics in this book have been carefully chosen to reflect current priorities in research, the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, and the developing relationship between glaciology and studies of environmental change. Glacier Science and Environmental Change is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduate research students, and professional researchers in glaciology, geology, geography, geophysics, climatology, and related disciplines.
Glaciers and Climate Change
Author: J. OerlemansPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9026518137
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This text brings together meteorology and the theory of glacier flow, providing a fundamental understanding of how glaciers respond to climate change. Attention is paid to the microclimate of glaciers and the physical processes regulating the exchange of energy and mass between glacier surface and atmosphere. Simple analytical and numerical models are used to: · investigate glaciers sensitivity to climate change · estimate response times · make an interpretation of historical glacier records · assess the contribution of glacier melt to sea-level rise Modern developments in glacier research, including satellite measurements are discussed in detail, making this a valuable reference source.
