Summary
Preface
This text aims to fill a long-standing gap in the scientific literature. While there are many texts on individual components of the cryosphere – snow cover, glaciers, ice sheets, lake and river ice, permafrost, sea ice, and icebergs – there is no comprehensive account. The text is aimed at upper division undergraduates and beginning graduate students in environmental sciences, geography, geology, glaciology, hydrology, water resources engineering, and ocean sciences, as well as providing a reference source for scientists in all environmental science and engineering disciplines.
