Book Synopsis Freezing of Lakes and the Evolution of Their Ice Cover by : Matti Leppäranta
Download or read book Freezing of Lakes and the Evolution of Their Ice Cover written by Matti Leppäranta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the first edition for the status of knowledge in the physics of lake ice and the interactions between the ice cover and the liquid water underneath. Since the first edition was written in 2013, there has been a lot of progress in the field, in particular concerning environmental questions and the impact of climate change. Life conditions in ice-covered lakes and practical matters are now brought more into the picture so that the revision also properly serves as a handbook for applications. The author has worked widely with boreal lakes, polar lakes and Central Asian lakes that provides a wide geographical spectrum. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview and presents the research fields. The second chapter contains the classification of ice-covered lakes and observation techniques, especially remote sensing. In Chapter 3, the structure and properties of lake ice are presented including optics and geochemistry. Ice growth and melting are treated in Chapter 4, while the following chapter focuses on ice mechanics with applications to traffic on ice and ice loads. Chapter 6 goes into the exotic environment of pro-glacial lakes. Chapter 7 contains the stratification and circulation of the water body beneath lake ice, Chapter 8 presents the winter ecology of freezing lakes and discusses the lake ice interface toward the society, and Chapter 9 summarizes the climate change impact on lake ice seasons. The book ends into a brief closing chapter and list of references. Research problems for student learning are listed throughout the book. Annexes are included to provide numerical data of constants and standard formulae to help practical calculations and student tasks. Lake ice closely interacts with human living conditions, but people have learnt to live with that and to utilize the ice. In the present time this is true for on-ice traffic and recreation activities. Ice fishing has become a widely enjoyed hobby, and winter sports such as skiing, skating,and ice sailing are popular activities on frozen lakes. The lake ice response to eventual climate warming would appear as a shortening of the ice season due to the increasing air temperature and also as changing of the quality of the ice seasons via changes in ice thickness and structure. The book gives the whole story of lake ice into a single volume. The second, revised edition updates the content based on recent progress in winter limnology and ice physics research and applications. The author has contributed to lake ice research since the 1980s. In particular, his topics have been lake ice structure and thermodynamics, light transfer in ice and snow, ice mechanics in large lakes, and lake ice climatology. Mathematical modeling of ice growth, drift, and decay are covered in this research.

Book Synopsis An 800-year Multiple-proxy Record of Atmospheric Circulation, Climate Change, and Aquatic Productivity from Kepler Lake, South-Central Alaska by : Andrew William Gonyo
Download or read book An 800-year Multiple-proxy Record of Atmospheric Circulation, Climate Change, and Aquatic Productivity from Kepler Lake, South-Central Alaska written by Andrew William Gonyo and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2009 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multiple-proxy investigation was undertaken on two short cores (85 cm and 101 cm long) from Kepler Lake, an evaporation-insensitive, groundwater-fed marl lake in South-Central Alaska, with the goal of reconstructing climate and environmental changes in recent centuries. The proxies employed in this study include: calcite Carbon-Oxygen isotopes, organic matter (OM) Carbon-Nitrogen isotopes, and loss on ignition (LOI) analysis. An 800-year chronology for two cores was established based on four calibrated AMS 14C dates on terrestrial macrofossils, 210Pb analysis and core-to-core correlations using LOI results. delta18O VPDB values of inorganic calcite range from -17.0 & permil; to -15.7 & permil;, with the highest values occurring during the period of 1450 to 1850 AD, a time coeval to the Little Ice Age (LIA). The high delta18O values during the cold LIA contrast with the conventional temperature interpretation using O isotopes and are interpreted to reflect a shift in atmospheric circulation. A weakening of the wintertime Aleutian Low (AL) pressure system residing over the Gulf of Alaska would result in 18O-enriched winter precipitation as well as a colder winter climate in SC Alaska during the LIA. We propose that elevated CaCO3 contents of>80% during the LIA reflect enhanced seasonality (warmer summer and colder winter), as calcite precipitation in freshwater lakes is primarily a function of peak summer temperature. This interpretation is also supported by high delta13C values, likely reflecting high aquatic productivity. The enhanced seasonality during the LIA may explain some complex moisture and temperature changes inferred from studies of glacier, lake and tree-ring records. Since 1850 an increase of 6 & permil; in delta15N from ca. +2 & permil; to +8.0 & permil; is interpreted to be caused by atmospheric transport of 15N enriched N-containing pollutants to the lake since the European Industrial Revolution. Through the use of multiple proxies complex relationships between climate change (shifts in the strength and/or position of the AL) and anthropogenic change (atmospheric deposition of nitrogen) can be examined in the context of aquatic ecosystems in order to yield a more complete understanding of paleo-environmental change during the late Holocene.
Book Synopsis How Global Warming & Ice Ages Begin & End by : George Sourlis
Download or read book How Global Warming & Ice Ages Begin & End written by George Sourlis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first 6 chapters deal with standard GW topics. In Chapter 1 I define "our environment". Chapter 2 quantifies world energy use in the 20th and 21st centuries. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 relate to energy required in heating the Earth's atmosphere, water, and to melt all the planet's ice, respectively. Chapter 6 covers sea level rise as ice melts.(Final level and time to reach it) Chapter 7 diverges from ordinary GW topics. There I estimate the energy stored in the Earth's 2 metal cores, 1 solid and 1 liquid. Furthermore, in the lower mantel is stored more than in the 2 metal cores, and in the upper mantel there is a similar amount. This means that more than 2/3 of the internal heat is stored in the mantels. Its thermal interaction with the surface is very significant. In Chapters 8, 9, and 10 I present a different theory of global warming incorporating Earth's interior energy. In Chapter 8 there is a 400,000-year graph showing climate history as it pertains to CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration and temperature. The new theory is strongly supported by the close connection between the two, especially during GW. Chapter 9 shows a massive increase in worldwide flooding over the last 22 years. Chapter 10 discusses more aspects of the graphs presented in chapter 7. It connects flood data of Chapter 9 with the new theory. Chapter 11 compares climatic numbers with very large numbers in common use. Chapter 12 addresses climate control. Chapter 13 covers some odds and ends not yet discussed, but that may be among people's concerns. Some very different ways of looking at GW concepts are stated. Chapter 14 is the conclusion, which briefly summarizes the new theory. It offers a solution to reduce greatly or stop our contribution to global warming.
Download or read book The Little Ice Age written by Brian Fagan and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion: that the world endured a 500-year cold snap -- The Little Ice Age -- that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850. The Little Ice Age tells the story of the turbulent, unpredictable and often very cold years of modern European history, how climate altered historical events, and what they mean in the context of today's global warming. With its basis in cutting-edge science, The Little Ice Age offers a new perspective on familiar events. Renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan shows how the increasing cold affected Norse exploration; how changing sea temperatures caused English and Basque fishermen to follow vast shoals of cod all the way to the New World; how a generations-long subsistence crisis in France contributed to social disintegration and ultimately revolution; and how English efforts to improve farm productivity in the face of a deteriorating climate helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution and hence for global warming. This is a fascinating, original book for anyone interested in history, climate, or the new subject of how they interact.

Book Synopsis Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years by : National Research Council
Download or read book Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-01-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a request from Congress, Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years assesses the state of scientific efforts to reconstruct surface temperature records for Earth during approximately the last 2,000 years and the implications of these efforts for our understanding of global climate change. Because widespread, reliable temperature records are available only for the last 150 years, scientists estimate temperatures in the more distant past by analyzing "proxy evidence," which includes tree rings, corals, ocean and lake sediments, cave deposits, ice cores, boreholes, and glaciers. Starting in the late 1990s, scientists began using sophisticated methods to combine proxy evidence from many different locations in an effort to estimate surface temperature changes during the last few hundred to few thousand years. This book is an important resource in helping to understand the intricacies of global climate change.
