The cryosphere comprises all the frozen water and soil on the
surface of the Earth. Mass Balance of the Cryosphere focuses on two
key components of this environment: land ice (in the form of ice
sheets, caps and glaciers) and sea ice. These components have been
identified as important indicators of both short and long term
climate change. Early chapters cover the theory behind field-based
and satellite observations, and modelling of mass balance,
providing a thorough grounding in all the concepts and issues
presented later in the book. Later chapters review our current
understanding of the present and predicted future mass balance of
the cryosphere. This is an important reference for all scientists
working in the fields of climate change, environmental sciences and
glaciology. It is written by leading authors in the field, and is
fully integrated to provide a coherent, cross-referenced and
consistent exposition on the subject.
