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.
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.
