Assessment of Glacier Mass Balances

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the impacts of climate change, the book explores the dynamic transformations of Earth's ice cover, particularly glaciers and ice caps. It addresses the urgent need for effective research methods to study these changes. Through case studies, such as the Quelccaya Ice Cap and the Greenland Ice Sheet, it showcases various techniques like remote sensing and field measurements to analyze glacier retreat and mass balance. The findings reveal significant insights into the relationship between ice dynamics and climate, offering valuable information for researchers in glaciology and climate science.
