This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the first edition for the status of knowledge in the physics of lake ice and the interactions between the ice cover and the liquid water underneath. Since the first edition was written in 2013, there has been a lot of progress in the field, in particular concerning environmental questions and the impact of climate change. Life conditions in ice-covered lakes and practical matters are now brought more into the picture so that the revision also properly serves as a handbook for applications. The author has worked widely with boreal lakes, polar lakes and Central Asian lakes that provides a wide geographical spectrum. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview and presents the research fields. The second chapter contains the classification of ice-covered lakes and observation techniques, especially remote sensing. In Chapter 3, the structure and properties of lake ice are presented including optics and geochemistry. Ice growth and melting are treated in Chapter 4, while the following chapter focuses on ice mechanics with applications to traffic on ice and ice loads. Chapter 6 goes into the exotic environment of pro-glacial lakes. Chapter 7 contains the stratification and circulation of the water body beneath lake ice, Chapter 8 presents the winter ecology of freezing lakes and discusses the lake ice interface toward the society, and Chapter 9 summarizes the climate change impact on lake ice seasons. The book ends into a brief closing chapter and list of references. Research problems for student learning are listed throughout the book. Annexes are included to provide numerical data of constants and standard formulae to help practical calculations and student tasks. Lake ice closely interacts with human living conditions, but people have learnt to live with that and to utilize the ice. In the present time this is true for on-ice traffic and recreation activities. Ice fishing has become a widely enjoyed hobby, and winter sports such as skiing, skating, and ice sailing are popular activities on frozen lakes. The lake ice response to eventual climate warming would appear as a shortening of the ice season due to the increasing air temperature and also as changing of the quality of the ice seasons via changes in ice thickness and structure. The book gives the whole story of lake ice into a single volume. The second, revised edition updates the content based on recent progress in winter limnology and ice physics research and applications. The author has contributed to lake ice research since the 1980s. In particular, his topics have been lake ice structure and thermodynamics, light transfer in ice and snow, ice mechanics in large lakes, and lake ice climatology. Mathematical modeling of ice growth, drift, and decay are covered in this research.

This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a state-of-the-art review of the climate change effects on lake hydrodynamics and water quality. Most of the engineering cases in this book deal with the ability of existing infrastructure to cope with extreme weather conditions. The case studies are intended to illustrate the advancement in modeling research on lake hydrodynamics, thermal stratification, pollutant transport, and water quality by highlighting the climate change aspects in the application of these techniques. Topics include climate and lake responses, lake thermodynamics, large-scale circulation, wind-waves on large lakes, great lakes ice cover, and water quality.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four Argos tracked drifting buoys were used to measure ice movement on lake Erie during the winter of 1984. The observed ice drift speeds averages 8 cm s−1. Speeds as high as 46 cm −1 were measured and 6.5% of all speeds were greater than 20 cm s−1. A comprehensive data set including ice reconnaissance, aerial photographs, and ice thickness measurements was obtained.

Download or read book Ice Stream Dynamics and Pro glacial Lake Evolution Along the North western Margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet written by Victoria Helen Brown and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ice streams drain ice sheets rapidly and are key regulators of their mass balance in both palaeo and contemporary settings. Present day ice streams can be identified, and their short-term activity monitored, by measuring the surface velocity of ice sheets. However, in order to understand their long-term behaviour, reconstructions of their activity in palaeo-ice sheets are necessary. Numerous palaeo-ice streams have been identified in the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) and this has considerably refined our understanding of its dynamic behaviour and links to the ocean-climate system. In the north-west sector of the LIS, ice streaming has been hypothesised but detailed mapping of the area has not been carried out and so our understanding of palaeo-ice streaming is limited compared to other areas. This thesis presents a new ice sheet reconstruction of the north-west sector of the LIS that incorporates ice stream activity and pro-glacial lake evolution. Mapping and analysis was carried out using a range of remote sensing imagery and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), which enabled widespread, rapid and systematic coverage of the 800,000 km2 study area. More than 95,000 bedforms have been mapped, including glacial lineations, eskers, moraines and palaeo-channels. These data permit the identification and classification of 272 flow-sets which have been dated using an existing 14C database and relative cross-cutting relationships. Flow-sets are used to construct a robust and self-consistent ice sheet reconstruction, incorporating the activity of ice streams at a temporal resolution of up to 250-500 years. The reconstruction reveals major changes in ice sheet configuration during Late Wisconsinan deglaciation and indicates that margin retreat was complex and dominated by the dynamic spatial and temporal evolution of seven ice stream systems. These ice streams were not synchronous but a peak in their activity occurred between 15 and 13 ka. Their location and behaviour was influenced by the availability of soft sediments, but their temporal switching was likely controlled by sub-glacial meltwater routing and ice piracy. Large proglacial lakes developed during deglaciaton but their evolution did not appear to control ice stream activity, as observed elsewhere in the ice sheet. However, major palaeo-channels are consistent with a previously hypothesised north-west drainage route for Glacial Lake Agassiz.
