Glaciers and environmental change / Atle Nesje and Svein Olaf Dahl. - London : New York : Arnold ; co-published in the U.S. by Oxford University Press, 2000. - x, 203 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm. - Key issues in environmental change .
Includes bibliographical references (p. [184]-200) and index.
Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Theories for climate and glacier variations; Chapter 3 Methods of palaeoenvironmental reconstruction; Chapter 4 Glacier dynamics; Chapter 5 Glacier variations; Chapter 6 Late Quaternary sea-level changes; Chapter 7 Models of future climatic change;
This authoritative new text provides a thorough, updated account of glaciers and ice sheets as monitors and indicators of environmental change. It examines the record of environmental change within glaciers and ice sheets, and that of past environments left by retreating glaciers. These themes are examined within the context of environmental change in general and global climate change in particular. Methods of using palaeoenvironmental records are assessed and the implications for future environmental change are discussed.
