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.

• Puts the contributions from expert glaciologists, geoscientists, volcanologists, environmental scientists, climatologists and historians, selected by a world-renowned editorial board, in your hands
• Presents the latest research on the causes and impacts of snow and ice-related hazards, the implications of climate-change, and more
• Includes numerous tables, maps, diagrams and photographs exemplifying and illustrating cryogenic hazardous processes
• Features new insights into the implications of climate change for increased ice and snow melting, ice shelf collapsing, methane emissions, sea level rise and radioactive waste disposal
