  • Comprehensive Cryospheric Science and Environmental Change

    • 1st Edition
    • Richard Kelly + 1 more
    • English
    The cryosphere is where water is frozen on the Earth. It includes glaciers and ice sheets, sea ice and terrestrial snow cover, permanently and seasonally frozen ground, and frozen lakes and rivers. It is also where indigenous and non-indigenous communities reside across the high latitudes and at high altitudes. As a result of human-induced global warming, the cryosphere is shrinking in its coverage and changing in its temporal behavior, which will have profound implications for society.Comprehensiv... Cryospheric Science and Environmental Change, Four Volume Set provides a broad and comprehensive overview of the cryosphere and our understanding of its energy and mass processes. Containing approximately 80 chapters written by world-leading experts, it contextualizes the state of current cryosphere against past states over geologic time, explaining how and why the cryosphere is changing and what the implications are for the environment and society.Structured using an integrative approach, it draws together scientific understanding of the cryosphere from the perspective of fundamental physical principles, field experimentation, remote sensing observations and numerical modelling, to demonstrate how society will be impacted and respond to consequential environmental change. With the availability of sophisticated modelling tools and big data, scientific skill in modelling cryospheric systems has led to improved understanding of past cryospheric environments and increasingly skillful predictions of the future. With our evolving, yet not fully formed understanding of how society responds to environmental change, this work outlines current thinking around vulnerability, impact, adaptation and mitigation of cryosphere-induced environmental change, for example sea level rise, snow and sea ice season changes and permafrost degradation.Ideal for geoscience and earth/environmental science researchers of all levels, this one-stop reference work provides deep-level treatment of data science and the human responses to cryospheric change via a fully integrated, interdisciplinary approach.
