{"product_id":"tropical-glaciers-georg-kaser-9780521020961","title":"Tropical Glaciers","description":"Tropical glaciers are both highly sensitive indicators of global climate and fresh water reservoirs in some fast developing regions. This book gives a theoretical and practical analysis of tropical glaciology including a useful definition of tropical glacier-climate regimes and an analysis of the main glaciological variables. The Rwenzori and the Cordillera Blanca are investigated as examples of tropical glacierized mountains. The fluctuations of their glaciers since the end of the Little Ice Age are reconstructed and the probable climatic reasons are discussed. The evidence of great expansions of mountain glaciers throughout the tropics on several occasions during the Quaternary are summarized, examined and then applied and contrasted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georg Kaser, Henry Osmaston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521020964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521020961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.48d","brand":"Georg Kaser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45476849451263,"sku":"9780521020961","price":88.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f760149f-b595-48c8-afd6-c03268c1d097.jpg?v=1715918338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tropical-glaciers-georg-kaser-9780521020961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
