Considering that glaciers and ice sheets cover about 10% of the
Earth's land surface in a world where human civilization is
increasingly impacted by the effects of changing glacial activity,
Colour Atlas of Glacial Phenomena presents itself as an
indispensable guide for students, professionals, and researchers
who want to be better informed while studying and tracking the
future influences of glaciers and ice sheets on the global
environment. While stressing both the beauty and utility of
glaciers, the authors cover critical features of glaciers and their
landforms and provide useful explanations of the key concepts in
glaciology and glacial geology. The authors expand to demonstrate
how our lives are influenced by the Cryosphere, a key component of
the Earth system and how this heightens the vulnerability of
glaciers and ice sheets to deterioration. This illustrated book
also helpfully maps out regions of mountain glaciers and ice caps
around the world for a practical reference and discusses the
products of glacial erosion and deposition integral to
understanding rising global sea levels.
