A world without ice
by Henry Pollack, 2010 (foreword by Al Gore)
A lyrical examination of snow and ice as the clockworks of our planet. IPCC geophysicist Pollack explains how the disappearance of ice will accelerate global warming using evidence from boreholes drilled in the earth's crust.
Cohesive sediments in open channels: Properties, transport, and applications
by Emmanuel Partheniades, 2009
One of the first works to approach the subject from an engineering perspective, this book provides a practical framework for understanding how cohesive sediments are transported, deposited, and eroded.
Stable isotopes and biosphere-atmosphere interactions: Processes and biological controls
edited by Lawrence Flanagan, James Ehleringer, and Diane Pataki, 2005
The relatively closed atmosphere-biosphere system allows the operation of enzymatic processes to be observed through measures of spatial and temporal gradients in the concentration and stable isotope composition of atmospheric C02, CH4, and N2O. This volume describes recent progress in understanding the mechanisms, processes, and applications of these new techniques.
Human impacts on weather and climate, 2nd edition
by William Cotton and Roger Pielke Sr., 2007
This new edition examines the scientific debates surrounding anthropogenic impacts on Earth's climate and presents recent theories, data, and modeling studies. The book discusses the concepts behind deliberate attempts to modify climate, like cloud seeding, as well as inadvertent modification of weather and climate on regional and global scales.
