Recent studies indicate that - due to climate change - the Earth is
undergoing rapid changes in all cryospheric components, including
polar sea ice shrinkage, mountain glacier recession, thawing
permafrost, and diminishing snow cover. This book provides a
comprehensive summary of all components of the Earth's cryosphere,
reviewing their history, physical and chemical characteristics,
geographical distributions, and projected future states. This new
edition has been completely updated throughout, and provides
state-of-the-art data from GlobSnow-2 CRYOSAT, ICESAT, and GRACE.
It includes a comprehensive summary of cryospheric changes in land
ice, permafrost, freshwater ice, sea ice, and ice sheets. It
discusses the models developed to understand cryosphere processes
and predict future changes, including those based on remote
sensing, field campaigns, and long-term ground observations.
Boasting an extensive bibliography, over 120 figures, and
end-of-chapter review questions, it is an ideal resource for
students and researchers of the cryosphere.
