Landscapes of Transition: Landform Assemblages and Transformations in Cold Regions
ISBN: 9789048160372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych.

Glaciers of the Karakoram Himalaya: Glacial Environments, Processes, Hazards and Resources
ISBN: 9789402405064 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 363 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Karakoram contains the greatest concentration of glaciers and most of the largest ice masses outside high latitudes. They comprise major stores and sources of fresh water in an otherwise extreme, continental, dry region. As many as 200 million people living downstream, in the valleys of the Indus and Yarkand Rivers, depend on melt waters from snow and ice. They are at risk from climate-change impacts on glaciers and water supply, and from hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods. Useful research initiatives go back to the nineteenth century, but coverage has generally been...
