Applied Geophysics in Periglacial Environments
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL TEXTO
Many research problems in cryospheric science, such as global warming-induced permafrost degradation, require information about the subsurface, which can be imaged using geophysical methods. This book is a practical guide to the application of geophysical techniques in mountainous and polar terrain, where the harsh environment and nature of the subsurface pose particular challenges. It starts with an introduction to the main geophysical methods and then demonstrates their application in periglacial environments through various case studies – written by a team of international experts. The final part of the book presents a series of reference tables with typical values of geophysical parameters for periglacial environments. This handbook is a valuable resource for glaciologists, geomorphologists and geologists requiring an introduction to geophysical techniques, as well as for geophysicists lacking experience of planning and conducting field surveys in cold regions.

Features

• Includes many different field examples from a variety of international researchers to provide an overview of state-of-the-art geophysical applications and interpretations
• Includes comprehensive summary tables of typical geophysical parameters for periglacial environments that serve as a reference for future field surveys on all types of periglacial and glacial terrain
• Presents a checklist at the end of each method chapter to facilitate the first steps in planning and conducting geophysical surveys
