Our realisation of how profoundly glaciers and ice sheets respond
to climate change and impact sea level and the environment has
propelled their study to the forefront of Earth system science.
Aspects of this multidisciplinary endeavour now constitute major
areas of research. This book is named after the international
summer school held annually in the beautiful alpine village of
Karthaus, Northern Italy, and consists of twenty chapters based on
lectures from the school. They cover theory, methods, and
observations, and introduce readers to essential glaciological
topics such as ice-flow dynamics, polar meteorology, mass balance,
ice-core analysis, paleoclimatology, remote sensing and geophysical
methods, glacial isostatic adjustment, modern and past glacial
fluctuations, and ice sheet reconstruction. The chapters were
written by thirty-four contributing authors who are leading
international authorities in their fields. The book can be used as
a graduate-level textbook for a university course, and as a
valuable reference guide for practising glaciologists and climate
scientists.
