This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Existing Glaciers of the United States For convenience of reference we will divide glaciers into alpine and continental; not that the two classes are always distinct and separable, but for the reason that typical examples of each are well characterized and capable of specific description. Variations occur in each class which may suggest minor subdivisions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific evidence shows that most glaciers in South Asia's Hindu Kush Himalayan region are retreating, but the consequences for the region's water supply are unclear, this report finds. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is the location of several of Asia's great river systems, which provide water for drinking, irrigation, and other uses for about 1.5 billion people. Recent studies show that at lower elevations, glacial retreat is unlikely to cause significant changes in water availability over the next several decades, but other factors, including groundwater depletion and increasing human water use, could have a greater impact. Higher elevation areas could experience altered water flow in some river basins if current rates of glacial retreat continue, but shifts in the location, intensity, and variability of rain and snow due to climate change will likely have a greater impact on regional water supplies. Himalayan Glaciers: Climate Change, Water Resources, and Water Security makes recommendations and sets guidelines for the future of climate change and water security in the Himalayan Region. This report emphasizes that social changes, such as changing patterns of water use and water management decisions, are likely to have at least as much of an impact on water demand as environmental factors do on water supply. Water scarcity will likely affect the rural and urban poor most severely, as these groups have the least capacity to move to new locations as needed. It is predicted that the region will become increasingly urbanized as cities expand to absorb migrants in search of economic opportunities. As living standards and populations rise, water use will likely increase-for example, as more people have diets rich in meat, more water will be needed for agricultural use. The effects of future climate change could further exacerbate water stress. Himalayan Glaciers: Climate Change, Water Resources, and Water Security explains that changes in the availability of water resources could play an increasing role in political tensions, especially if existing water management institutions do not better account for the social, economic, and ecological complexities of the region. To effectively respond to the effects of climate change, water management systems will need to take into account the social, economic, and ecological complexities of the region. This means it will be important to expand research and monitoring programs to gather more detailed, consistent, and accurate data on demographics, water supply, demand, and scarcity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glaciers of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and Geology Until within the past few years, nearly all current knowledge of glaciers was based on 'the study of those of the Alps. Practically all theories of the origin, growth, motion, etc., of glaciers were inspired from the same source. An enlargement of the field of study, however, has shown not only that glaciers of the same type as those of Switzerland exist in many other lands, but in numerous instances are larger and present greater diversity; and besides, additional types or "genera" have been discovered that are not represented in Europe or in fact on any of the three continents of the Eastern Hemisphere. As geological and geographical explorations have been extended, it has been found that North America is not only a favorable field for the growth of these twin sciences, bat in many ways furnishes the best example of continental development that has as yet been studied. Strange as it may appear in the face of the overshadowing popular interest that centers in the glaciers of the Alps, North America offers more favorable conditions for the study of existing glaciers and of the records of ancient ice sheets than any other continent. Of each of the three leading types of glaciers thus far reorganized, namely, the alpine, piedmont, and continental, North America furnishes magnificent examples. In fact there is no other continent, except the little known region about the South Pole, in which other than the alpine type of glaciers exist. Of alpine glaciers representatives occur in North America in abundance and in great variety, ranging from the "pocket editions" about the summits of the High Sierra, California, to the magnificent Seward glacier, Alaska, the largest river of ice flowing from a mountain group that has yet been discovered.
