Ice Drift, Ocean Circulation and Climate Change
Jens Bischof
This book describes the progress that has been made in the study of the
process of ice rafting. It includes chapters on the concept of ice
rafting and ice rafting and climate change. The main focus of the book
is the reconstruction of past ice drift directions and their
significance for an understanding of the global oceanic and atmospheric
circulation.
- The first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of ice rafting,
sea ice, icebergs, paleo-currents and ice sheets. - The author is an active researcher in the study of icebergs and sea
ice, and his work is well known amongst scientists in this field. - The book is written in a clear and logical way, making it suitable
for both undergraduate and graduate students, professional scientists,
and interested non-specialists.
