Publisher Description: This authoritative new text is a comprehensive account of glaciers and ice sheets as monitors and indicators of environmental change. Based on the latest research, this book consolidates a diverse range of data and explains their applications. It assesses methods of using palaeoenvironmental records and examines records of environmental change within glaciers as well as change in past environments left by retreating glaciers. All of these themes are also discussed in the context of contemporary debates. |
