Icebergs are a prime example of an environmental phenomenon that
brings together multiple disciplines in the polar sciences, from
the physics of calving and melting to the geology of their solid
deposits and sea floor interactions. Icebergs are also increasingly
seen to play key roles in past and present climate change. This
book gives a comprehensive, multidisciplinary view of icebergs and
their interaction with the Earth system, from the physical and
biological interaction with the ocean and climate, to how iceberg
detritus informs us about past Earth history. Societal and cultural
aspects of icebergs are also examined, in terms of the risks and
opportunities posed by icebergs in the modern world, as well as how
these might develop in the future. With extensive illustrations and
key links to online resources, Icebergs is a valuable reference for
academic researchers and graduate students studying oceanography,
cryospheric science, climatology and environmental science.
