Glaciation: A Very Short Introduction

David Evans introduces glaciers and ice sheets as systems, discussing the processes that shape them, and their impacts on our planet in terms of erosional and depositional processes. He explains how we can use this knowledge in reconstructing glaciers and ice sheets of the past, and discusses the impacts on glaciers of climate change.

David Evans introduce ghetarii si placile de gheata ca sisteme, discutand procesele care le modeleaza si impactul lor asupra planetei noastre in ceea ce priveste procesele erozionale si de depozit. El explica modul in care putem folosi aceste cunostinte in reconstructia ghetarilor si a straturilor de gheata din trecut si discuta impactul schimbarilor climatice asupra ghetarilor.
