Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information The cryosphere is where water is frozen on the Earth. It includes glaciers and ice sheets, sea ice and terrestrial snow cover, permanently and seasonally frozen ground, and frozen lakes and rivers. It is also where indigenous and non-indigenous communities reside across the high latitudes and at high altitudes. As a result of human-induced global warming, the cryosphere is shrinking in ist coverage and changing in ist temporal behavior, which will have profound implications for society. Comprehensive Cryospheric Science and Environmental Change, Four Volume Set provides a broad and comprehensive overview of the cryosphere and our understanding of ist energy and mass processes. Containing approximately 80 chapters written by world-leading experts, it contextualizes the state of current cryosphere against past states over geologic time, explaining how and why the cryosphere is changing and what the implications are for the environment and society. Structured using an integrative approach, it draws together scientific understanding of the cryosphere from the perspective of fundamental physical principles, field experimentation, remote sensing observations and numerical modelling, to demonstrate how society will be impacted and respond to consequential environmental change. With the availability of sophisticated modelling tools and big data, scientific skill in modelling cryospheric systems has led to improved understanding of past cryospheric environments and increasingly skillful predictions of the future. With our evolving, yet not fully formed understanding of how society responds to environmental change, this work outlines current thinking around vulnerability, impact, adaptation and mitigation of cryosphere-induced environmental change, for example sea level rise, snow and sea ice season changes and permafrost degradation. Key features Contains approximately 80 chapters written by world-leading experts Helps students and scientists frame fundamental questions regarding the cryosphere, environmental change and how this impacts civil society Describes foundational elements such as remote sensing and modelling in a manner that is accessible, equipping readers to go further in their understanding Covers new and emerging themes in cryospheric science that deal with big data/data science, AI, and data management strategies and policies Couples the science of cryospheric environmental change with the impacts, adaptations and mitigation strategies to respond to these changes, drawing in social scientists working in this field Readership Academic students and researchers in Geosciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Hydrology and Water Resources, Geography, Computational sciences, Environmental / Natural Resource Management, Practitioners and researchers in Applied Economics and Financial Management, policy makers from private and governmental agencies
