Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Periglacial geomorphology is concerned with the landforms and processes which occur in cold non-glacial regions. These regions are becoming more important because of the need to exploit their natural resources, so that oil and mining industries require periglacial geomorphologists on their staff. This book presents a review of the present status of periglacial geomorphology as reflected through a series of themes, including weathering and sediment transport, active layer processes, process-form relationships and broad aspects of the periglacial system. The focus is firmly on the achievements of the last decade, and spans representative examples of European and North American work. International co-operation has been excellent in producing a valuable contribution to the literature.

Download or read book The Periglacial Environment written by Hugh M. French and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world’s cold, non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and 2007, the text has been the international standard for nearly 40 years. The Fourth Edition continues to be a personal interpretation of the frost-induced conditions, geomorphic processes and landforms that characterize periglacial environments. Part One discusses the periglacial concept and describes the typical climates and ecosystems that are involved. Part Two describes the geocryology (permafrost science) associated with frozen ground. Part Three outlines the weathering and geomorphic processes associated with cold-climate conditions. Part Four provides insight into the periglacial environments of the Quaternary, especially the Late Pleistocene. Part Five describes some of the problems associated with human occupancy in regions that experience frozen ground and cold-climate conditions. Extensively revised and updated Written by an expert with over 50 years of field research Draws upon the author’s personal experience from Northern Canada, Alaska, Siberia, Tibet, Antarctica, Svalbard, Scandinavia, southern South America, Western Europe and eastern North America This book is an invaluable reference for advanced undergraduates in geography, geology, earth sciences and environmental sciences programs, and to resource managers and geotechnical engineers interested in cold regions.

This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 975 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Engineering Group of the Geological Society Working Party brought together experts in glacial and periglacial geomorphology, Quaternary history, engineering geology and geotechnical engineering to establish best practice when working in former glaciated and periglaciated environments. The Working Party addressed outdated terminology and reviewed the latest academic research to provide an up-to-date understanding of glaciated and periglaciated terrains. This transformative, state-of-the-art volume is the outcome of five years of deliberation and synthesis by the Working Party. This is an essential reference text for practitioners, students and academics working in these challenging ground conditions. The narrative style, and a comprehensive glossary and photo-catalogue of active and relict sediments, structures and landforms make this material relevant and accessible to a wide readership.

Book excerpt: Presents papers written by distinguished American and Canadian geomorphologists that highlight the considerable quantity and diversity of periglacial geomorphic research being conducted in Arctic and alpine environments. Explores a variety of contemporary geomorphic processes such as pingos, nivation, ground ice, palsas, frost related and mass wasting procedures as well as paleoenvironmental studies. Also examines some of the potential impacts of global change on the nature and extent of permafrost and seasonal ice phenomena.

This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1987 book examines the intimate link between periglacial geomorphology and the fluctuating climates of the Quaternary Period in the British Isles. In the last two million years, ice sheets have covered northern Britain several times. In the south, at the limit of the glaciation, intense frost action and the formation of permafrost have influenced past and present landscapes. The first part of the book looks at areas of the world that have climates similar to periglacial Britain: Scandinavia, the Canadian Arctic, and alpine regions. Contributors then present data on periglacial landforms in the British Isles. Topics discussed include the periglaciation of upland Britain, ground ice depressions, and pingo remnants. The regions surveyed stretch from northern Scotland to the Isles of Scilly. The contributions are based on a conference held in late 1985 under the sponsorship of the International Geographical Union and the Quaternary Research Association of the United Kingdom.

Book excerpt: Periglacial environment is dominated by some typical processes leading to the formation of unique landform patterns. Some processes are Zonal in nature like the frost action and weathering processes along with some types of mass movements while others are Azonal operating in either humid (fluvial) or semi-arid (Aeolian) environments. Periglacial geomorphology has recently become more quantitative and process-oriented. Periglacial processes have been important outside Pleistocene glacial borders and on Mars, and if we are to draw inferences about processes that have taken place there, we must understand their modern analogs.Periglacial Geomorphology aims to highlight the considerable quantity and diversity of periglacial geomorphic research taken world-wide covering the study of the processes, conditions, areas, climates and landforms at the immediate margins of former and existing glaciers and ice sheets. Clear clarification of the behavior of water and ice in cold environments should boost the student's appreciation of the complex origins of such features as pingos, rock glaciers, gelifluction lobes, and patterned ground. This book is designed for periglacial geomorphologists, intended to describe some periglacial processes that can serve as a basis for exploring that special world with emphasis on the origin of certain distinctive processes there and the environmental consequences of a lack of familiarity with these phenomena for those who build and work there.
