Book excerpt: Can The Planet Earth Be Saved From Catastrophic Flooding? Antarctic Collapse In early 2027 the nightmare scenario is looming-the imminent collapse of the polar ice caps. Mother Earth is in peril. Human habitation, along all the coastlines of all the continents, is threatened with total submersion by the sea. Mass extinctions are beginning and a vast climatological shift will devastate global food production. The United Nations assembles a team of elite scientists to coordinate the supreme effort required to stabilize the world ecosystem. The coordinating committee of scientific experts include: Dr. Samory Sundiata, a leading climatologist from Africa; Dr. Amilcar del Gado, an oceanographer from Brazil; Dr. T.B.Subasinghe, a physician from Sri Lanka; Dr. Natasha Aminov, a geologist from Russia; and Dr. Sung Pun Lai, an exobiologist and mathematician from China. The discovery of an ancient civilization that left Earth 7 millions years ago and the outbreak of a deadly pandemic disease further complicate events for world society. The race to prevent the greatest catastrophe in history is on. Failure and the Earth as we know it shall perish!

Download or read book Antarctic Climate Evolution written by Fabio Florindo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antarctic Climate Evolution, Second Edition, enhances our understanding of the history of the world’s largest ice sheet, and how it responded to and influenced climate change during the Cenozoic. It includes terrestrial and marine geology, sedimentology, glacier geophysics and ship-borne geophysics, coupled with results from numerical ice sheet and climate modeling. The book’s content largely mirrors the structure of the Past Antarctic Ice Sheets (PAIS) program (www.scar.org/science/pais), formed to investigate past changes in Antarctica by supporting multidisciplinary global research. This new edition reflects recent advances and is updated with several new chapters, including those covering marine and terrestrial life changes, ice shelves, advances in numerical modeling, and increasing coverage of rates of change. The approach of the PAIS program has led to substantial improvement in our knowledge base of past Antarctic change and our understanding of the factors that have guided its evolution. Offers an overview of Antarctic climate change, analyzing historical, present-day and future developments Provides the latest information on subjects ranging from terrestrial and marine geology to sedimentology and glacier geophysics in the context of Antarctic evolution Fully updated to include expanded coverage of rates of change, advances in numerical modeling, marine and terrestrial life changes, ice shelves, and more

Download or read book Antarctica written by Gabrielle Walker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many books about Antarctica in the past, but all have focused on only one aspect of the continent - its science, its wildlife, the heroic age of exploration, personal experiences or the sheer awesome beauty of the landscape, for example - but none has managed to capture whole story, till now. Gabrielle Walker, author, consultant to New Scientist and regular broadcaster with the BBC has written a book unlike any that has ever been written about the continent. Antarctica weaves all the significant threads into an intricate tapestry, made up of science, natural history, poetry, epic history, what it feels like to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of people back there again and again. It is only when all the parts come together that the underlying truths of the continent emerge. Antarctica is the most alien place on Earth, the only part of our planet where humans could never survive unaided. It is truly like walking on another planet. And yet, in its silence, its agelessness and its mysteries lie the secrets of our past, and of our future.
Download or read book Vanishing Ice written by Vivien Gornitz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic is thawing. In summer, cruise ships sail through the once ice-clogged Northwest Passage, lakes form on top of the Greenland Ice Sheet, and polar bears swim farther and farther in search of waning ice floes. At the opposite end of the world, floating Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking. Mountain glaciers are in retreat worldwide, unleashing flash floods and avalanches. We are on thin ice—and with melting permafrost’s potential to let loose still more greenhouse gases, these changes may be just the beginning. Vanishing Ice is a powerful depiction of the dramatic transformation of the cryosphere—the world of ice and snow—and its consequences for the human world. Delving into the major components of the cryosphere, including ice sheets, valley glaciers, permafrost, and floating ice, Vivien Gornitz gives an up-to-date explanation of key current trends in the decline of ice mass. Drawing on a long-term perspective gained by examining changes in the cryosphere and corresponding variations in sea level over millions of years, she demonstrates the link between thawing ice and sea-level rise to point to the social and economic challenges on the horizon. Gornitz highlights the widespread repercussions of ice loss, which will affect countless people far removed from frozen regions, to explain why the big meltdown matters to us all. Written for all readers and students interested in the science of our changing climate, Vanishing Ice is an accessible and lucid warning of the coming thaw.
