Download or read book Iceberg Utilization written by A. A. Husseiny and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iceberg Utilization covers the proceedings of the First International Conference and Workshops on Iceberg Utilization for Fresh Water Production, Weather Modification and Other Applications, held at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA on October 2-6, 1977. The book focuses on the efforts to consider the feasibility of using icebergs as alternative water and energy resources relative to the growing concern on global water and energy shortage. The compilation first offers information on the patterns of cooperation in international science and technology and evaluation of subsidiary effects and concomitant issues and challenges in iceberg utilization. The text also looks at the consideration of icebergs as potential water resource, including arctic drifting stations, remote sensing, and transport of icebergs. The book discusses elements of iceberg technology and remote sensing of thickness of icebergs, as well as sources and properties of tabular icebergs and towing, handling, processing, and selection of icebergs. The text also considers the international law problems in the acquisition and transportation of Antarctic icebergs; ecological considerations of iceberg transport from Antarctic waters; and energy and freshwater production from icebergs. The selection is a dependable reference for readers wanting to explore the potential of icebergs as energy and water resource.

Download or read book Icebergs written by Grant R. Bigg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Icebergs are a prime example of an environmental phenomenon that brings together multiple disciplines in the polar sciences, from the physics of calving and melting to the geology of their solid deposits and sea floor interactions. Icebergs are also increasingly seen to play key roles in past and present climate change. This book gives a comprehensive, multidisciplinary view of icebergs and their interaction with the Earth system, from the physical and biological interaction with the ocean and climate, to how iceberg detritus informs us about past Earth history. Societal and cultural aspects of icebergs are also examined, in terms of the risks and opportunities posed by icebergs in the modern world, as well as how these might develop in the future. With extensive illustrations and key links to online resources, Icebergs is a valuable reference for academic researchers and graduate students studying oceanography, cryospheric science, climatology and environmental science.

Download or read book Underwater Iceberg Geometry written by T. J. Buckley and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report identifies and reviews all previous recorded measurements of the underwater portion of icebergs. Analysis of previous keel measurements show that, at best, only a general three-dimensional impression of the underwater shape can be obtained. Analysis of the data base also indicates that there is not a good functional relationship between the draft and the above-water parameters of icebergs and thus above-water dimensions form a poor basis for estimation iceberg draft. Factors affecting performance of an acoustic iceberg mapping system including frequency versus range and resolution, angle of incidence and beam bendering are investigated. The use of alternative sensors for iceberg mapping, primarily undewater low-light TV, lidars, and impulse radars, and it is concluded that because of the significant research and development required and the short operational ranges achievable that optical/electro-optical devices are not at present feasible sensors for underwater iceberg shape determination. Impulse radar deployed from a helicopter has potential as an iceberg draft measurement device.
