Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study provides a comprehensive documentation of iceberg groundings off Canada's east coast. Sophisticated criteria to identify and verify grounding events have been developed. A data base containing iceberg tracking data and related information has been compiled. The data base includes data on 2,728 icebergs tracked at well-site locations by drill-rig radars, 868 icebergs tracked by shore-based radars off Newfoundland and Labrador and in Baffin Bay, 40 icebergs tracked by satellite in Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea for periods up to 309 days, and about 65,000 iceberg sightings reported by the International Ice Patrol (United States Coast Guard).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography includes 379 annotated citations to works on ice scour, defined as the disturbance of the bottom sediments of a water body by floating ice. Works describing ice scour conditions in specific locations are arranged geographically by region. Other works are assigned to the following subject categories: theory or modelling of ice scour; and protection of sea-bed structures such as pipelines from ice scour. Includes subject, geographic, author, title, and serial indexes.
Download or read book Wisconsinan Glaciation of the Atlantic Continental Shelf of Southeast Canada written by L. H. King and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Areas of the eastern eastern Gulf of Maine, Scotian Shelf and Grand Banks ofNewfoundland were examined using the Juntec deep-towed, high-resolution, seismic stratigraphy, together with regional surficial geologicalformations. This approach provided new insight into the nature of theglacial environment of the shelf, the relationship between the glaciomarineand glacial sediments, the depositional processes which led to the formationof these units, and the extent and age of glaciation of the shelf and itsrelationship to the glacial history of the mainland.

Download or read book With Speed and Violence written by Fred Pearce and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature is fragile, environmentalists often tell us. But the lesson of this book is that it is not so. The truth is far more worrying. Nature is strong and packs a serious counterpunch . . . Global warming will very probably unleash unstoppable planetary forces. And they will not be gradual. The history of our planet's climate shows that it does not do gradual change. Under pressure, whether from sunspots or orbital wobbles or the depredations of humans, it lurches-virtually overnight. —from the Introduction Fred Pearce has been writing about climate change for eighteen years, and the more he learns, the worse things look. Where once scientists were concerned about gradual climate change, now more and more of them fear we will soon be dealing with abrupt change resulting from triggering hidden tipping points. Even President Bush's top climate modeler, Jim Hansen, warned in 2005 that "we are on the precipice of climate system tipping points beyond which there is no redemption." As Pearce began working on this book, normally cautious scientists beat a path to his door to tell him about their fears and their latest findings. With Speed and Violence tells the stories of these scientists and their work-from the implications of melting permafrost in Siberia and the huge river systems of meltwater beneath the icecaps of Greenland and Antarctica to the effects of the "ocean conveyor" and a rare molecule that runs virtually the entire cleanup system for the planet. Above all, the scientists told him what they're now learning about the speed and violence of past natural climate change-and what it portends for our future. With Speed and Violence is the most up-to-date and readable book yet about the growing evidence for global warming and the large climatic effects it may unleash.
