Glaciers.

Author(s) : HAMBREY M., ALEAN J.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

Adopting a worldwide perspective, the authors provide clear answers to such questions as: Where do glaciers exist, and why? How do they move? How have they created some of our finest and most dramatic upland landscapes? How can their power be harnessed? They examine climate, environmental change and natural history, explain catastrophes like avalanches, lake bursts and the eruption of glacier-covered volcanoes, and review the lasting impact of glaciers on the natural landscape.
