5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent introduction to theoretical glaciology.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Physics of Glaciers, Third Edition (Paperback)
This is the 3rd edition of a classical university textbook. It is an introduction to the behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets from a theoretical point of view. A wide range of subjects are treated e.g. ice dynamics, mass balance, climatology, ice core analysis, hydrology, thermal properties, etc. The equations governing the flow of valley glaciers, ice sheets and ice streams are presented along with the physical arguments.A basic knowledge of mathematics and physics is an advantage.
