Periglacial Landscapes Of Europe written by Marc Oliva and has been published by Springer Nature this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-01-01 with Science categories.
This book comprehensively presents the geography of landforms linked to periglacial processes across Europe. The landscape of the European cold climate regions, both at high latitudes and in mountainous environments, represent the lingering, minimal expression of the glaciers. In addition, periglacial elements can be found in temperate regions, where temperatures no longer favor periglacial processes, so landforms are therefore inherited from previous cold phases. The book is divided into five parts: an introductory section on climate variability responsible for periglacial dynamics across Europe; a second part including 3 blocks on periglacial landforms in southern, central and northern Europe; and a final chapter providing a more general perspective on the impact of periglacial processes on the landscape of Europe. The book offers a valuable reference guide for scientists from all disciplines interested in cold climate processes, as well as readers outside academia (territorial managers, environmentalists, mountaineers, politicians, engineers, etc.).

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 limited geographically and has not been continuous over time. It is almost 80 years since a monograph was devoted to the Karakoram glaciers. The book presents a comprehensive overview, including statistics for the ice cover, glacier mass balance and dynamics, glacierized landscapes, rock glaciers, water resources and environmental hazards. Published glaciological and related research is surveyed along with expedition reports and archival materials in several languages. The expanding potential of satellite coverage is exploited, but conditions and processes reported from field investigations are the main focus. Previously unpublished observations by the author are presented, based on some 45 years of work in the region. Broad understanding of the glacial environment is used to address emerging concerns about the High Asian cryosphere and the fate of its glaciers. These are discussed in relation to the pressing issues of water supply, environmental risk and sustainability. Questions of what is not known help identify much needed monitoring and research. The book is of interest to researchers, professionals, and those studying glaciers, mountain environments, water resources and environmental hazards. The topics discussed should be of concern for anyone involved in regional development and global change in South and Inner Asia.

Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt Ihnen Einblicke, wie Gletscher, Bergstürze, Flüsse oder Vulkanausbrüche die Reliefformen unserer Erde erschaffen, verändern und zerstören. Sie erfahren, welch außerordentliche Vielzahl der von Menschen unberührten natürlichen Prozesse an der Formung der Erdoberfläche mitwirken. Unser Buch hilft Ihnen, diese Vielfalt zu ordnen und in eine übersichtliche Systematik zu bringen. Die einzelnen Prozesse und Formen werden in Grundzügen beschrieben und mit zahlreichen fotographischen Beispielen dokumentiert. Daneben bieten wir Ihnen allgemeine Grundlagen für das Verständnis der reliefformenden Prozesse, wie die Art und Weise der Wissensgewinnung oder die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Reliefformen. Um Ihnen einen Einblick in die Praxis des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens zu geben, haben wir zwei Fallstudien in das Lehrbuch aufgenommen. Sie zeigen exemplarisch, welche Konsequenzen die menschlichen Eingriffe in die Reliefformen bewirken können und welche Folgen in Zukunft möglich sind. Wir erhoffen uns, dass dieses Lehrbuch Wissen vermittelt, Fragen beantwortet, den Blick auf unsere Erdoberfläche schärft und Leidenschaften für die natürlichen Reliefformen weckt. Als Bestandteil des Naturschönen bilden sie Erscheinungen, die es zu erhalten und zu schützen gilt.

Terrestrial mass movements (i.e. cliff collapses, soil creeps, mudflows, landslides etc.) are severe forms of natural disasters mostly occurring in mountainous terrain, which is subjected to specific geological, geomorphological and climatological conditions, as well as to human activities. It is a challenging task to accurately define the position, type and activity of mass movements for the purpose of creating inventory records and potential vulnerability maps. Remote sensing techniques, in combination with Geographic Information System tools, allow state-of-the-art investigation of the degree of potential mass movements and modeling surface processes for hazard and risk mapping. Similarly, through statistical prediction models, future mass-movement-prone areas can be identified and damages can to a certain extent be minimized. Issues of scale and selection of morphological attributes for the scientific analysis of mass movements call for new developments in data modeling and spatio-temporal GIS analysis. The book is a product of a cooperation between the editors and several contributing authors, addressing current issues and recent developments in GI technology and mass movements research. Its fundamental treatment of this technology includes data modeling, topography, geology, geomorphology, remote sensing, artificial neural networks, binomial regression, fuzzy logic, spatial statistics and analysis, and scientific visualization. Both theoretical and practical issues are addressed.
