Periglacial and Paraglacial Processes and Environments (Geological Society Special Publication, Band 320) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Located outside ice sheet margins but responding to similar climate forcings, periglacial and paraglacial environments are key to identifying the effects of climate change. Papers in this volume examine subjects including the implications that changes in the distribution and thickness of permafrost in continental interiors have for ecosystem and landscape stability; how increased rockfall and mass movement in periglacial Alpine environments has led to rock glacier instability and sediment release to downstream rivers; and the impact of these landscape effects impact on natural hazards and human activities in these sensitive and geologically transient environments.

Periglacial and Paraglacial Processes and Environments (Geological Society of London Special Publications)

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 280 pages. Periglacial and paraglacial environments, located outside ice sheet margins but responding to similar climate forcings, are key to identifying climate change effects upon the Earth system. These environments are relicts of cold Earth processes and so are most sensitive to global warming. Changes in the distribution and thickness of permafrost in continental interiors have implications for ecosystem and landscape stability. Periglacial Alpine environments are experiencing increased rockfall and mass movement, leading to rock glacier instability and sediment release to downstream rivers. In turn, these landscape effects impact on natural hazards and human activities in these sensitive and geologically transient environments. Papers in this volume explore some of these interrelated issues in field studies from Europe, North America and Asia. The volume will be of interest to geomorphologists, modellers, environmental managers, planners and engineers working on landscape, climate and environmental change in periglacial and paraglacial areas.
