Description for Glacier Hydrology and Hydrochemistry
Paperback. A theme within this text on glaciology has been the linkage between glacier hydrology and ice mass dynamics. This mediates the way in which glaciers and ice sheets respond to environmental change, and determines ways in which ice masses shape the landscape. Editor(s): Sharp, M.; Tranter, Martyn; Richards, Keith S. Series: Advances in Hydrological Processes. Num Pages: 350 pages, maps. BIC Classification: RBGD; RBKF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 268 x 201 x 20. Weight in Grams: 790.
The last decade has been a period of rapid advances in glacier hydrology and hydrochemistry. These have resulted from the application of new technologies to the direct observation of englacial and subglacial drainage systems via boreholes, from theoretical advances and from increased interactions between fieldworkers and modellers. This collection of papers captures the spirit of these advances highlighting new methodologies, the change in character of hydrological models from lumped conceptual models to physically based, distributed models, and the changing role of field studies in glacier hydrological investigations. Major themes identified in the book are: approaches to defining the structure of ... Read more
