Mass Balance of the Cryosphere : Observations and Modelling of Contemporary and Future Changes
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... handsomely produced and makes an original contribution. Good books have the potential to change how we think about science and how we conduct it. By this measure, Bamber and Payne's The Mass Balance of the Cryosphere is very good.' Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union
'... an excellent compilation.' Royal Meteorological Society
'I don't think it's too much to say this is a beautiful book. Stunningly presented, with a large number of full-colour images and high quality production ... the book provides a vast wealth of information regarding the changing cryosphere ...'. The Holocene
Book Description
Providing a comprehensive overview of the significance of the glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, this study reviews the theory behind climatological observations. It describes present modelling studies and predicted future changes in the mass balances of these key indicators of global climate change. The volume is an important reference for scientists working in climate change, environmental sciences and glaciology.
