„. this book achieves what it set out to do and provides a comprehensive and up to date position statement on the subject area.“ New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 2007„. an excellent aid to research in a wide range of disciplines dealing with glaciers. It provides sensible facts and mechanisms, and addresses its subject matter in a methodical manner. The book will be a useful companion to any research student as well as to researchers dealing with the complicated aspects of changing glaciers across the globe. This outstanding book is comprehensive and well edited.“ Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2007„As a busy lecturer in Quaternary related topics, can I thank and congratulate you for the work put into producing Glacier Science and Env. change. It is a wonderful resource, based on a terrific idea and beautifully put together. Many thanks for making my life easier!“ Dr Steve McCarron, National University of Ireland, MaynoothI was very impressed by the comprehensive nature of this book. Overall, I truly admire Knight's efforts and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. John F Hiemstra, The Holocene, 2007
Glacier Science and Environmental Change
herausgegeben von Peter G. KnightGlacier Science and Environmental Change is an authoritative and comprehensive reference work on contemporary issues in glaciology. It explores the interface between glacier science and environmental change, in the past, present, and future.
Written by the world's foremost authorities in the subject and researchers at the scientific frontier where conventional wisdom of approach comes face to face with unsolved problems, this book provides:
* cutting-edge case studies of the latest research
* an interdisciplinary synthesis of the issues that draw together the research efforts of glaciologists and scientists from other areas such as geologists, hydrologists, and climatologists
* color-plate section (with selected extra figures provided in color at www. blackwellpublishing. com/knight).
The topics in this book have been carefully chosen to reflect current priorities in research, the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, and the developing relationship between glaciology and studies of environmental change.
Glacier Science and Environmental Change is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduate research students, and professional researchers in glaciology, geology, geography, geophysics, climatology, and related disciplines.
