Glacier Science and Environmental Change is an authoritative and comprehensive reference work on contemporary issues in glaciology. It explores the interface between glacier science and environmental change, in the past, present, and future. Written by the world’s foremost authorities in the subject and researchers at the scientific frontier where conventional wisdom of approach comes face to face with unsolved problems, this book provides: state-of-the-art reviews of the key topics in glaciology and related disciplines in environmental change cutting-edge case studies of the latest research an interdisciplinary synthesis of the issues that draw together the research efforts of glaciologis...
Physics and Chemistry of Ice is an authoritative summary of state-of the-art research contributions from the world's leading scientists. A key selection of submissions from to the 11th International Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Ice, 2006 are presented here with a foreword by Werner F. Kuhs. An invaluable resource, this book provides researchers and professionals with up-to-date coverage on a wide range of areas in ice science including: " Spectroscopic and diffraction studies " Molecular dynamics simulations " Studies of ice mechanics " Quantum mechanical ab initio calculations " Ice and hydrate crystal growth and inhibition studies " Bulk and surface properties of ice and gas ...
Accompanying the present trend of engineering systems aimed at size reduction and design at microscopic/nanoscopic length scales, Mechanics of Dislocation Fields describes the self-organization of dislocation ensembles at small length scales and its consequences on the overall mechanical behavior of crystalline bodies. The account of the fundamental interactions between the dislocations and other microscopic crystal defects is based on the use of smooth field quantities and powerful tools from the mathematical theory of partial differential equations. The resulting theory is able to describe the emergence of dislocation microstructures and their evolution along complex loading paths. Scale transitions are performed between the properties of the dislocation ensembles and the mechanical behavior of the body. Several variants of this overall scheme are examined which focus on dislocation cores, electromechanical interactions of dislocations with electric charges in dielectric materials, the intermittency and scale-invariance of dislocation activity, grain-to-grain interactions in polycrystals, size effects on mechanical behavior and path dependence of strain hardening.

Les glaciers de montagne ont connu ces dernières années un mouvement de repli marqué et rapide, qui fait craindre la disparition d'une partie d'entre eux d'ici quelques décennies. Cette évolution aura un impact sur la ressource en eau et sera à l'origine de risques naturels accrus. Ainsi, les glaciers font actuellement l'objet de nombreux travaux scientifiques, d'autant qu'ils sont parmi les meilleurs indicateurs pour évaluer les changements climatiques. Leur observation et la reconstitution de leurs fluctuations s'inscrivent au coeur des grands programmes de recherche sur le réchauffement de la planète. Offrir à un large public le bilan de ces recherches à travers un panorama com...
The book is an up-to-date and augmented version that keeps the concise and rigorous writing of its inspiring French language predecessors. It is based on laboratory and field experience of both authors, with a focus towards hard rocks and magmatic rocks from both the continental crust worldwide and the mantle, principally from the Oman ophiolites.--
The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners. This volume was first published in 2005.
Writer and anthropologist C. Thomas Shay traces the key roles of plants since humans arrived in the northern plains at the end of the Ice Age and began to hunt the region’s woodlands, fish its waters, and gather its flora.
This seven-year retrospective covers the significant results, reported in these fields during that time, and includes abstracts of papers which appeared after the publication of Defect and Diffusion Forum, Volumes 150-151 and Volumes 181-182, (which were last to cover these topics systematically) and the end of August 2004 (allowing for vagaries of journal availability).
