Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Series: The Cryosphere Science Series

A complete and timely reference on the application of geophysical methods to the cryosphere

Applied Geophysics in the Cryospheric Sciences provides comprehensive coverage of the acquisition, processing, and use of geophysical data for understanding cryospheric problems. Bringing together contributions by world-renowned experts in the field, this authoritative volume presents up-to-date information on the properties and processes of debris-covered glaciers, permafrost and rock glaciers, ice, snow, and glacial sedimentary landforms.

Individual sections focus on the application of geophysical techniques to subglacial and englacial ice, crustal-scale ice sheets, the structure and hydrology of snowpacks, the past and present flow of ice sheets and ice caps, the physical properties of sea ice over wide areas, and more. Encompassing all key geophysical methods, Applied Geophysics in the Cryospheric Sciences also includes GPS techniques for in situ monitoring of ice sheet and glacier flow, the processing of ice-mass GPS data, the interpretation of ice-electrical processes, and sonic and ultrasonic logging of deep ice boreholes, and recent advances in geophysical survey technology.

Integrates geophysics with sedimentology and hydrology of cryosphere Covers the full spectrum of geophysical methods and approaches, including modeling, field observation, and remote sensing Discusses long-term glacier behavior, paleorecord interpretation, and ice-mass change in response to climatic change

Includes recent case studies from a wide range of international sources and explores the future outlook of the field

Part of the Cryosphere Science series, Applied Geophysics in the Cryospheric Sciences is an indispensable resource for advanced students, academic researchers, applied scientists, and professionals working on cryospheric problems in fields such as geophysics, glaciology, geomorphology, and sedimentology.

Bernd Kulessa is Professor of Geophysics and Glaciology at Swansea University, Wales, UK. His research focuses on the use of applied geophysics to contribute to our understanding of the response of the world’s ice masses to past, present, and future climatic change, and to address related scientific problems of anthropogenic impact. Peter G. Knight (Series Editor) is Reader in Geography at Keele University, Staffordshire, England, UK. His work examines how glaciers entrain debris into their basal layers and how that basal ice affects glacier behavior and glacial landforms.
