The Arctic Climate Systemby Mark C. Serreze; Roger G. Barry; Alexander J. Dessler; John T. Houghton; Michael J. Rycroft
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 48.00This comprehensive, up-to-date assessment begins by outlining early Arctic exploration and the growth of modern research. Recent climate variability and trends, and projected future states are discussed in detail. The Arctic Climate System provides an overview of the subject for researchers and advanced students in a wide range of disciplines. more...
Ocean Weather Forecastingby Eric P. Chassignet; Jacques Verron
Springer 2006; US$ 205.00The field of physical oceanography is conceivable to combine numerical models and observations via data assimilation in order to provide ocean prediction products on various spatial and time scales. This volume covers a range of topics and summarizes knowledge in ocean modeling, ocean observing systems, and data assimilation. more...
Antarctic Climate Evolutionby Fabio Florindo; Martin Siegert
Elsevier 2008; US$ 155.00This is the first book dedicated to the developing knowledge on how the world's largest ice sheet formed and changed over its 34 million years history. In explaining the story of Antartica, information on terrestrial and marine geology, sedimentology, glacier geophysics (including airborne reconnaissance), shipborne geophysics, and numerical ice sheet and climate modelling, will be interwoven within eleven chapters, each deling with an important historical theme. The approach will be to first 'set the scene', involving chapters dedicated to how ice sheets and their glacial history can be measured. This opening section will provide information necessary to comprehend the latter section of the book, in which five chapters will related the glacial... more...
The Big Thawby Ed Struzik
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2009; US$ 26.95Winner of the Canadian Science Writers' Association's Science in Society Book Award Banff Mountain Book Award Finalist The City of Edmonton Book Prize Finalist Shortlisted for the Wilfred Eggleston Award for Non-Fiction Climate change's effects are reshaping the Arctic profoundly. Landscapes are being radically transformed, animal habitats are disappearing, and natural resources are being revealed to an energy-starved world. Veteran Arctic journalist Ed Struzik took eleven trips throughout the north to document this rapidly changing land, gaining unprecedented access to scientific expeditions, native communities and security and sovereignty experts. The product of those trips, The Big Thaw is the only book that looks at global warming's... more...

Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arcticby Barry Scott Zellen
ABC-CLIO 2009; US$ 45.00An expert examination of the way climate change is transforming the Arctic environmentally, economically, and geopolitically, and how the challenges of that transformation should be met. more...
International geophysics seriesby John Marshall; R. Alan Plumb
Elsevier 2007; US$ 79.95For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography. * Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for undergraduates... more...
Marine Climate Changeby Ralf Weisse; Hans von Storch
Springer 2010; US$ 159.00Marine environmental conditions such as storms, storm surges and wave heigths are directly experienced by, for example, off-shore operations or coastal populations. The authors review and bring together the state-of-the-art and present day knowledge about historical changes, recent trends and concepts on how marine environmental conditions may change in the future. Consequences and implications for future off-shore operations and coastal defence are covered. more...
