Description

Glaciers and ice sheets are melting at significant rates, creating environmental threats at local, regional, and global scales. Because glacier changes are governed by the balance of snowfall accumulation and ice ablation, they serve as clear indicators of regional climate shifts. This book by CRC Press provides essential knowledge for understanding these changes through modern scientific methods. While traditional field measurements have provided long time series for a limited number of glaciers over the last century, modern technology offers a broader perspective. This text covers how remote sensing data, specialized methods, and geographic information systems (GIS) allow for the monitoring of glacier changes across much larger areas. It is a vital resource for those studying Earth sciences and the impact of climate alteration on ice masses.

Key Features

Covers advanced methods for topographic, spatial, and thematic mapping of glaciers.

Explains how remote sensing data can be used to monitor glacier changes on a larger scale.

Discusses the relationship between ice accumulation, ablation, and regional climate shifts.

Provides insights into using geographic information systems for glacier analysis.

Complements traditional field measurement data with modern technological approaches.
