Snow and Ice-Related Hazards, Risks and Disasters
Edited by Wilfried Haeberli and Colin Whiteman
Snow and Ice-Related Hazards, Risks and Disasters provides you with the latest scientific understanding of glacier, ice sheet and sea ice melting, permafrost degradation and slope instability, glacier lake outburst floods and avalanches and their diverse impacts including sea-level rise. While placed in a geo-scientific context, the topic also covers current thinking about directly-related socio-economic issues, adaptation and mitigation, from local to global scales.
