Mountain Ice and Water: Investigations of the Hydrologic Cycle in
Alpine Environments is a new volume of papers reviewed and edited
by John Shroder, Emeritus Professor of Geography and Geology at the
University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA, and Greg Greenwood, Director
of the Mountain Research Initiative from Bern, Switzerland.
Chapters in this book were derived from research papers that were
delivered at the Perth III Conference on Mountains of our Future
Earth in Scotland in October 2015. The conference was established
to help develop the knowledge necessary to respond effectively to
the risks and opportunities of global environmental change and to
support transformations toward global sustainability in the coming
decades. To this end, the conference and book have investigated the
future situation in mountains from three points of view. (1)
Dynamic Planet: Observing, explaining, understanding, and
projecting Earth, environmental, and societal system trends,
drivers, and processes and their interactions to anticipate global
thresholds and risks, (2) Global Sustainable Development:
Increasing knowledge for sustainable, secure, and fair stewardship
of biodiversity, food, water, health, energy, materials, and other
ecosystem services, and (3) Transformations towards Sustainability:
Understanding transformation processes and options, assessing how
these relate to human values, emerging technologies and social and
economic development pathways, and evaluating strategies for
governing and managing the global environment across sectors and
scales.
