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.
