Glaciers
Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 79.95This book offers a comprehensive and detailed summary of our knowledge and understanding of glaciers and sets them within a global environment context. The text explains the significance both of recent advances in glaciology, and of teh many research problms that remain to be solved. The accessible style adopted in the text facilitates a clear understanding... more...
Fundamentals of Glacier Dynamics
CRC Press 2013; US$ 129.95Measuring, monitoring, and modeling technologies and methods changed the field of glaciology significantly in the 14 years since the publication of the first edition of Fundamentals of Glacier Dynamics. Designed to help readers achieve the basic level of understanding required to describe and model the flow and dynamics of glaciers, this second edition... more...
Drift, Deformation, and Fracture of Sea Ice
Springer 2013; US$ 39.95Sea ice is a major component of polar environments, especially in the Arctic where it covers the entire Arctic Ocean throughout most of the year. However, in the context of climate change, the Arctic sea ice cover has been declining significantly over the last decades, either in terms of its concentration or thickness. The sea ice cover evolution and... more...
The Ice Chronicles
University of New Hampshire Press 2012; US$ 21.99An exciting account of revolutionary new discoveries for understanding the earth's climate, and their implications for future scientific research and global environmental policy. more...
A World Without Ice
Penguin Group US 2010; US$ 16.00A cowinner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize offers a clear-eyed explanation of the planet's imperiled ice. Much has been written about global warming, but the crucial relationship between people and ice has received little focus-until now. As one of the world's leading experts on climate change, Henry Pollack provides an accessible, comprehensive... more...
The Flooded Earth
Basic Books 2010; US$ 16.99Rising sea levels will not extinguish humanity, but they will transform human life as we know it. An eminent scientist explains what our world will look like. more...

The Physics of Glaciers
Elsevier Science 2010; US$ 103.95Now in its 4th Edition, this classic text covers the physical principles underlying the behavior of glaciers -- terrestrial ice bodies originating as accumulations of snow -- including mountain glaciers, small ice caps, ice sheets, and shelves. New material on climate change includes interactions between ice sheets and the ocean and atmosphere, paleoclimate... more...
Remote Sensing of Glaciers
CRC Press 2009; US$ 149.95Brings together a number of experts in the field of remote sensing of glaciers to cover topics ranging from early terrestrial photogrammetry to the airborne laser and satellite radar methods for investigating glacier change. more...
Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers
Springer 2009; US$ 139.99Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on developing... more...
