The Opening of a New Landscape
Wiley 2013; US$ 49.00Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Special Publications Series . This book, beautifully illustrated with dozens of extraordinary photographs, not only tells the history of the expeditions to explore the Columbia Glacier, but also shows how warming over the last century in combination with internal physics of the glacier act... more...
The Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap, Iceland
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 210.00Existing lowland ice caps are usually considered the best analogues for formerly glaciated areas and as such Icelandic glaciers have been intensively investigated with regard to process-orientated sediment-landform interrelationships. Much work has been directed towards understanding the interaction between volcanic activity and glacier response i.e.... 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...
Climate Change in Eurasian Arctic Shelf Seas
Springer 2010; US$ 139.99Analyses the ice cover variability in the Arctic Seas during the 20th and early 21st centuries. This book shows that multi-year changes of the sea-ice extent in the Arctic Seas were formed by linear trends and long-term (climatic) cycles lasting about 10, 20 and 60 years. more...
Eurasian Arctic Land Cover and Land Use in a Changing Climate
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99This volume is a compilation of studies on interactions of land-cover/land-use change with climate in a region where the climate warming is most pronounced compared to other areas of the globe. The climate warming in the far North, and in the Arctic region of Northern Eurasia in particular, affects both the landscape and human activities, and hence... more...
Climate Change and the Management of Natural Systems in Cameroon
Langaa RPCIG 2011; US$ 39.95This book emphasises that planning is essential, as the conservation approaches of the past may not work in an ever-changing warmer environment. It appraises current management strategies, assesses the biological and physical effects of climate change on natural systems in Cameroon and designs a planning and management framework for each natural system... more...

Principles of Glacier Mechanics
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 91.00This new edition of a successful textbook is intended to give upper-level students the tools they need to understand modern glaciology. Practising geologists and glaciologists will also find it useful as a reference book. Relatively simple concepts are introduced first, followed by mathematically more sophisticated chapters. Student exercises are included. more...
Field Techniques in Glaciology and Glacial Geomorphology
Wiley 2005; US$ 219.95Field Techniques in Glaciology and Glacial Geomorphology is the first text to provide this essential information in a single comprehensive volume. Coverage includes: The role of field data acquisition in the broader disciplines of glaciology and glacial geomorphology Logistical preparations for fieldwork Field techniques in glaciology such as investigations... more...
