Cold Region Hazards and Risks
Author: Colin A. Whiteman
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119957184
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This is a unique, timely and engaging text with wide ranging geographical coverage. The text brings together, for the first time, information about a vast array of hazards associated with ice and snow, spanning both well known phenomenon (e.g. avalanches) and the less familiar (e.g. river ice jams and ice storms) using, in many cases, material which is rarely seen outside advanced academic research books and journals. The range of ice-related hazards will be introduced and the significance of the current global warming context discussed. Broad physical models of glacial, periglacial and atmospheric cold environments are presented to provide a scientific context for discussion of the human issues of risk, vulnerability impact and mitigation. Key Features: Wide ranging geographical coverage (the Americas, Asia, Australasia, Antarctic & Europe) Localised hazards (avalanches, life storms, landslides) contrasted to those with wider reaching effects (arctic ice loss, ice sheet retreat and wide spread permafrost decay) Includes the latest developments in the field Each chapter includes hazards overview, summery, conclusions, potential projects exercise and key references Includes a supplementary website with figures from the text and further references Each chapter includes a hazards overview, summary, conclusions, potential projects exercise and key references

Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The world has some amazing weather. Wind and rain aren't the only events that plague citizens around the world. Snow also plays a big role in the winter for many. One of the worst winter events is the blizzard, but what is a blizzard? In this entertaining book filled with fun facts, history, and science, readers will discover the ins and outs of this powerful storm. This book explores the mechanics of blizzards and the science behind them. It describes how blizzards form, what damage they cause, and steps scientists and the public can take to be prepared and stay safe during blizzard events.

A Resumé of the Heavy Snowfall and Persistent Cold of the Winter of 1968-1969 in the Upper Midwest and the Flood Situation Resulting Therefrom

Pages : 76
Book Description
"The past winter was an extraordinary one, weatherwise, for most residents of the Upper Midwest. There were numerous heavy snowstorms in various sections of the area during the winter and more especially within the 75-day period beginning in mid-December and running through February. Some of these heavy snowstorms were widespread. A number of them were accompanied by strong winds and much drifting and blowing of snow resulting in blizzard or near blizzard conditions. Several were interspersed with ice storms in some localities. One of the cumulative effects of the numerous heavy snowstorms, accompanied by persistently below normal temperatures, has been the development of an unusually deep mantle of snow with a very high water content over much of the area. This has resulted in the imminence of severe flooding on many streams in the area of the Upper and Central Midwest as the spring snowmelt period begins to come to the area. The following sections and the accompanying figures and table point up the nature of the past winter's weather in the Upper Midwest and the seriousness of the flood situation that exists and is even now rapidly unfolding from the snowmelt"--Introduction
