Vanishing Ice is a powerful depiction of the dramatic transformation of the cryosphere--the world of ice and snow--and its consequences for the human world. Delving into the major components of the cryosphere, including ice sheets, valley glaciers, permafrost, and floating ice, Vivien Gornitz gives an up-to-date explanation of key current trends in the decline of ice mass. Drawing on a long-term perspective gained by examining changes in the cryosphere and corresponding variations in sea level over millions of years, she demonstrates the link between thawing ice and sea-level rise to point to the social and economic challenges on the horizon. Gornitz highlights the widespread repercussions of ice loss, which will affect countless people far removed from frozen regions, to demonstrate why the big meltdown matters to us all"--$$cProvided by publisher 000914063 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record 000914063 650_0 $$aCryosphere$$xHistory. 000914063 650_0 $$aClimatic changes$$zArctic regions. 000914063 650_0 $$aGlaciers$$xClimatic factors$$zArctic regions. 000914063 650_0 $$aIce sheets$$zArctic regions. 000914063 650_0 $$aSea level$$xClimatic factors$$zArctic regions. 000914063 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGornitz, Vivien.$$tVanishing ice.$$dNew York : Columbia University Press, [2019]$$z9780231548892$$w(DLC) 2018041938$$w(OCoLC)1101101613 000914063 852__ $$bcoll 000914063 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000914063 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2087945$$zOnline Access 000914063 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:914063$$pGLOBAL_SET 000914063 980__ $$aEBOOK 000914063 980__ $$aBIB 000914063 982__ $$aEbook 000914063 983__ $$aOnline 000914063 994__ $$a92$$bISE
