Glaciology Atlas - by Steen Thomsen. Dette atlas er ikke en glaciologisk lærebog, men illustrationerne til een. Her er 117 billeder fra bræer / jøkler / gletchere. Klik på billede for stor størrelse. Indhold: 0. Glaciologisk forside <-- HER 1. Jeg er cand scient med bifag i geologi, og har tilbragt over 4 md på bræer/gletschere/jøkler i Norge, Ísland, Svalbard, Alperne.
Labs | Temperature Anomalies Enigma.io is a search engine and API for public data. We find certain datasets to be especially powerful because the underlying phenomena they capture have such a fundamental impact on our world. Climate affects our agricultural production, the price of gasoline, the livelihood of small businesses or temporary farm workers, and ultimately the sustainability of our species on this planet. On March 31st, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report reaffirming the scientific community's consensus that the "worst is yet to come." At Enigma, our priority is to enable the exploration of climate change by bringing the data to the table. We are committed to connecting this entire world of public data to the developers, researchers, data scientists, and climatologists who are striving to make sense of our changing climate and its effect on our lives.

Glaciology Lateral moraine on a glacier joining the Gorner Glacier, Zermatt, Swiss Alps. The moraine is the high bank of debris in the top left hand quarter of the picture. For more explanation, click on the picture. Glaciology (from the Franco-Provençal language: glace, "ice"; or Latin: glacies, "frost, ice"; and Greek: λόγος, logos, "speech" lit. "study of ice") is the study of glaciers, or more generally ice and natural phenomena that involve ice. Overview[edit] Areas of study within glaciology include glacial history and the reconstruction of past glaciation. Types[edit] There are two general categories of glaciation which glaciologists distinguish: alpine glaciation, accumulations or "rivers of ice" confined to valleys; and continental glaciation, unrestricted accumulations which once covered much of the northern continents. Alpine - ice flows down the valleys of mountainous areas and forms a tongue of ice moving towards the plains below. Zones of glaciers[edit] Movement[edit] Ablation Ablation zone
GLACIOLOGY Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University GLACIOLOGY GROUP UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Glaciology is the study of ice in the environment. Important components are seasonal snow, sea ice, glaciers, ice sheets and frozen ground. Glaciology at the University of Washington includes course curriculum and research related to all of these components of ice in the environment. Glaciological research at the University of Washington is carried out by faculty and graduate students in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Atmospheric Sciences, Quaternary Research Center and Applied Physics Laboratory. What is Glaciology? Glaciology is the study of ice in the environment. Examples are: hemispheric snow cover in winter, thickness of sea ice on the polar oceans, depth of frozen ground, volumes of glaciers and the physical and chemical properties in layers cored from ice sheets. The ice also affects climate. Because these ice components are only decimeters to meters thick, they can change on time scales as short as seasons and can influence climate at all time scales.
Russian Geographical Society - Moscow Centre Subglacial and Polar Microbiology Related Projects: 1. Arctic metagenomicsThe vast majority of Earth’s biosphere exists in permanently cold environments, including polar regions (14% of surface area) and deep ocean (90% by volume). By examining the gene content in metagenomic libraries, hypotheses regarding metabolic roles can be made; however, metagenomics does not allow the definitive assignment of metabolic function to a contig. 2. Lake Vostok, buried for at least 15 million years beneath approximately 4 km of ice that has prevented any communication with the external environment for as much as 1.5 million years, is an ideal system to study this question.
