Download or read book Glaciers and Ice Sheets in the Climate System written by Andrew Fowler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our realisation of how profoundly glaciers and ice sheets respond to climate change and impact sea level and the environment has propelled their study to the forefront of Earth system science. Aspects of this multidisciplinary endeavour now constitute major areas of research. This book is named after the international summer school held annually in the beautiful alpine village of Karthaus, Northern Italy, and consists of twenty chapters based on lectures from the school. They cover theory, methods, and observations, and introduce readers to essential glaciological topics such as ice-flow dynamics, polar meteorology, mass balance, ice-core analysis, paleoclimatology, remote sensing and geophysical methods, glacial isostatic adjustment, modern and past glacial fluctuations, and ice sheet reconstruction. The chapters were written by thirty-four contributing authors who are leading international authorities in their fields. The book can be used as a graduate-level textbook for a university course, and as a valuable reference guide for practising glaciologists and climate scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students taking undergraduate degrees in geography, ecology, earth science, and environmental science frequently take an introductory unit in Physical Geography. Some will have not done any geography since their early teens, while others have more recent knowledge. This range of backgrounds can be challenging for both the instructor and the student, this primer aims to help. A primer is a readable introduction to a subject, more technical than a piece of popular science, but less detailed than a specialist textbook. It aims to give the reader a platform in a subject with which they may be unfamiliar, so that they can proceed simultaneously, or sequentially, to more advanced texts and information. Ideally the primer should have something for those without any knowledge, while also challenge and entertaining those who do. Not quite bedtime reading, but a step in that direction. Our Dynamic Earth introduces students to the Earth's origins, to plate tectonics, atmospheric and oceanographic circulation, as well as to a range of Earth surface processes. Idea to get you started in your studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate modelling is a field in rapid development, and the fltudy of cryospheric processes has become an important part of it. On smaller time scales, the effect of snow cover and sea ice on the atmospheric circulation is of concern for long-range weather forecasting. Thinking in decades or centuries, the effect of a C02 climatic warming on the present-day ice sheets, and the resulting changes in global sea level, has drawn a lot of attention. In particular, the dynamics of marine ice sheets (ice sheets on a bed that would be below sea level after removal of ice and full isostatic rebound) is a subject of continuous research. This interest stems from the fact that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is a marine ice sheet which, according to some workers, may be close to a complete collapse. The Pleistocene ice ages, or glacial cycles, are best characterized by total ice volume on earth, indicating that on 4 5 large time scales (10 to 10 yr) ice sheets are a dominant component of the climate system. The enormous amount of paleoclimatic information obtained from deep-sea sediments in the last few decades has led to a complete revival of iriterest in the physical aspects of the Pleistocene climatic evolution.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The retreat and advance of ice sheets perturb the Earth's solid surface, gravitational field and rotation, leading to spatially and temporally varying changes in the elevation of the ocean surface and solid Earth and hence sea level (glacial isostatic adjustment; GIA). Modelling studies have shown that sea-level changes associated with GIA in turn feed back onto ice sheets, confirming the coupled nature of ice sheets, the solid Earth and sea level. These interactions occur over a range of timescales (from decadal to multi-millennial and longer) and have important implications for ice sheet stability and sensitivity to climate changes in marine and terrestrial settings. Understanding the physics of these interactions through the Earth's glacial history is pertinent to interpreting ice-sheet and sea-level records from the past, understanding ongoing changes and projecting future climate changes.This thesis expands 1) the understanding of the history and physics of coupled ice-sheet and sea-level changes in the Northern Hemisphere over the last glacial cycle and 2) the computational capability of coupled ice-sheet - sea-level modelling. In the first study, I apply a sea-level model to simulate gravitationally consistent sea-level changes in North America associated with ice melting through the last deglaciation (21-6 thousand years ago). I separate the ice and water loading signals from periods during active deglaciation and post-deglaciation phases and show how these signals lead to a possible bias in interpreting geophysical records used to constrain the viscosity underlying mantle in the Hudson Bay region. I also identify sites where the bias is minimized in the region.In the second study, I explore how deformation of the solid Earth and perturbations of the gravitational field impacted the evolution of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere during the last glacial cycle using a coupled ice-sheet - sea-level model. I demonstrate that solid Earth deformation enhances the dynamics of the Northern Hemispheric ice sheets, causing greater fluctuations of ice sheets in North America and Eurasia throughout the glacial cycle and that gravitational perturbations influence the stability of marine-based sectors of ice on decadal to centennial timescales.Finally, I develop a novel "time window" algorithm in a sea-level model to replace the classic algorithm of temporal discretization of the ice history in the model. This algorithm improves the computational efficiency of the model and thus allows for capturing the short-term scale interactions between ice sheets, solid Earth and sea level within glacial-cycle scale simulations with a coupled ice sheet - sea level model. I apply the new algorithm to simulate ice-sheet and sea-level variations globally over the past two glacial cycles and the future retreat of the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to anthropogenic climate warming between 1950-2500 CE. I show that using the time window algorithm reduces the total CPU calculation times by at least by 50% in both cases.Overall, I contribute to expanding the understanding of the interactions between GIA and ice sheets over broader spatiotemporal scales"--

Book excerpt: "The ground beneath our feet may seem safe and solid, but earthquakes, volcanic blasts and other hazardous natural phenomena leave us in no doubt that this isn't the case. The Earth is a dynamic planet of shifting tectonic plates that is responsive to change, particularly when there is a dramatic climate transition. We know that at the end of the last Ice Age, as the great glaciers disappeared, the release in pressure allowed the crust beneath to bounce back. At the same time, staggering volumes of melt water poured into the ocean basins, warping and bending the crust around their margins. The resulting tossing and turning provoked a huge resurgence in volcanic activity, seismic shocks, and monstrous landslides -- the last both above the waves and below. The frightening truth is that temperature rises expected this century are in line with those at the end of the Ice Age. All the signs, warns geophysical hazard specialist Bill McGuire, are that unmitigated climate change due to human activities could bring about a comparable response. Using evidence accumulated from studies of the recent history of our planet, and gleaned from current observations and modeling, he argues convincingly that we ignore at our peril the threats that presented by climate change and the waking giant beneath our feet."--Cover.
