Description for Applied Geophysics in Periglacial Environments
hardcover. This practical guide demonstrates the successful application of geophysical techniques in periglacial environments through international field studies. Editor(s): Hauck, Christian; Kneisel, Christof. Num Pages: 256 pages, 5 b/w illus. 13 colour illus. 13 tables. BIC Classification: PHVG; RBGD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 247 x 174 x 15. Weight in Grams: 640.
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 ... Read more

Reviews for Applied Geophysics in Periglacial Environments
"While the book has been prepared as a handbook for geomorphologists, geologists, and glaciologists requiring an introduction to geophysical techniques, it is also a precious reference for geophysicists and other geoscientists planning or conducting field surveys in mountainous and polar regions in cold climates. I also recommend it as a guide book to geophysicists who are pursuing seismic and electromagnetic ... Read more
