The polar regions are the 'canary in the coal mine' of climate
change: they are likely to be hit the hardest and fastest. This
comprehensive textbook provides an accessible introduction to the
scientific study of polar environments against a backdrop of
climate change and the wider global environment. The book assembles
diverse information on polar environmental characteristics in
terrestrial and oceanic domains, and describes the ongoing changes
in climate, the oceans, and components of the cryosphere. Recent
significant changes in the polar region caused by global warming
are explored: shrinking Arctic sea ice, thawing permafrost,
accelerating loss of mass from glaciers and ice sheets, and rising
ocean temperatures. These rapidly changing conditions are discussed
in the context of the paleoclimatic history of the polar regions
from the Eocene to the Anthropocene. Future projections for these
regions during the twenty-first century are discussed. The text is
illustrated with many color figures and tables, and includes
further reading lists, review questions for each chapter, and a
glossary.
