Description
"Glacial landsystems brings together the expertise of an international range of specialists to provide an up-to-date summary of landsystems relevant to both modern and ancient glacier systems and also critical in the reconstruction and interpretation of former glacial environments. The models are applicable at all scales from ice sheets to small valley glaciers." "This book is an essential reference for anyone embarking upon research or engineering...
Description
Sediment sequences deposited under glacial conditions during the Pleistocene period cover some 10% of the earth's land surface. This program concentrates on the interpretation of a sediment sequence exposed in a river cliff cut by the River Severn in England. Techniques of sampling and analysis are illustrated, with emphasis on the measurement of particle size and of particle dip and orientation. This analysis suggests that the deposits were laid...

Description
"This book provides an illustrated guide to the wide variety of features found on and around the world's glaciers and ice sheets as well as the products of glacial erosion and deposition. It stresses both the beauty and utility of glaciers and demonstrates how our lives are influenced by one of the key components of the Earth system, the cryosphere. The authors cover glaciers and their landforms and explain some of the key concepts in glaciology and...

Description
Though perhaps less frightening than earthquakes or volcanoes, ice is no less powerful a geologic force. What to most seems an occassional drivinghazard or sidewalk nuisance has at times in the Earth's history affected global weather conditions and brought about massive evolutionary change. In this book, the latest volume in the Changing Earth series, Erickson explains just how fortunate we are to live between ice ages.
Description
How are glaciers formed? Where are they found? How and why do they move? How have they shaped the land? Using examples filmed in Iceland, the Alps and the UK and with the help of satellite images, graphics and interviews with some of the world's leading glaciologists, this program illustrates and explains the processes and landforms associated with glaciers. An excellent case study of the very latest research and current thinking on glaciation.

Description
Gives an overview of important aspects of glaciology and glacier hydrology relevant to an understanding of erosion and sedimentation. A comprehensive and critical examination of the processes of glacial erosion and glacial sedimentation, focussing on physical qualities and relationships.
7) The Ice Age
Author
Description
"This book provides a new look at the climatic history of the last 2.6 million years during the ice age, a time of extreme climatic fluctuations that have not yet ended. This period also coincides with important phases of human development from Neanderthals to modern humans, both of whom existed side by side during the last cold stage of the ice age. The ice age has seen dramatic expansions of glaciers and ice sheets, although this has been interspersed...
