Antarctica is the planet's fifth largest continent. It contains the
Earth's largest (of two) remaining ice sheets and is considered to
be one of the most important scientific laboratories on Earth.
Changes in the area and volume of the two polar ice sheets in
Antarctica and Greenland are intricately linked to changes in
global climate, and could result in sea-level changes that could
severely affect the densely populated coastal regions on Earth.
This book explores the global, environmental and economic issues
facing Antarctica including topics such as: species diversity of
Antarctic mysids; volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons in Antarctica;
the levels and trends of organochlorine pesticides in Antarctica;
volcanoes in the northern Antarctic Peninsula area, remote sensing
of solar influence on Antarctic terrestrial climate by GPS
observations and others.
