商品描述
This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the geophysics of the cryosphere--Earth's sphere of snow and ice--intended for advanced undergraduate students in geophysics, geography, geology, and environmental sciences. Unlike broader climate-focused or geographically descriptive volumes, this book provides a structured, physical understanding of snow and ice processes in high-latitude and high-altitude environments.
Chapters cover the physical properties of snow and ice, the evolution of seasonal snow cover, the flow and mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets, and the behavior of floating ice on lakes, rivers, and seas. The book also explores the cryosphere's role in climate systems and its future under changing conditions.
Developed from long-standing courses at the University of Helsinki and international winter schools, this book includes end-of-chapter study problems and a compact annex of key constants and formulas. It is equally useful as a coursebook or reference for researchers in Earth system sciences working with cryospheric elements.
The Authors
Matti Leppäranta is an emeritus professor of geophysics at the University of Helsinki. He has decades of experience in the study of sea ice, lake ice, and snow physics. His research has advanced understanding in ice dynamics, thermodynamics, and climate interactions. He has held research and teaching positions worldwide, including at Hokkaido University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and lectured regularly at UNIS, Svalbard. A prolific author, he has published several books with Springer, such as The Drift of Sea Ice and Freezing of Lakes and the Evolution of Their Ice Cover.
Petteri Uotila is a professor of geophysics at the University of Helsinki, specializing in polar oceanography. His research focuses on the polar oceans and their role in the climate system, with contributions to ocean modeling. He has held research positions at leading institutions including Monash University, CSIRO, and the Courant Institute at NYU. In addition to publishing extensively, he has authored book chapters on sea ice modeling and ocean-climate linkages.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本教科書全面介紹冰凍圈（cryosphere）的地球物理學；冰凍圈是指地球上由雪與冰構成的圈層。本書適合地球物理學、地理學、地質學與環境科學領域的高年級大學生。不同於著重於廣泛氣候議題或地理描述的書籍，本書以有系統的方式，提供對高緯度與高海拔環境中雪與冰作用的物理理解。
各章涵蓋雪與冰的物理性質、季節性積雪的演變、冰河與冰原的流動及質量平衡，以及湖泊、河流與海洋中浮冰的行為。本書也探討冰凍圈在氣候系統中的作用，以及在環境持續變化下冰凍圈的未來。
本書內容源自赫爾辛基大學長期開設的課程，以及國際冬季學校的教學經驗，並附有各章章末研習問題，以及收錄重要常數與公式的精簡附錄。本書既適合作為課程教材，也適合從事地球系統科學、研究冰凍圈要素的研究人員作為參考書。
作者
Matti Leppäranta 是赫爾辛基大學地球物理學名譽教授，擁有數十年研究海冰、湖冰與雪物理學的經驗。他的研究增進了人們對冰的動力學、熱力學與氣候交互作用的理解。他曾在全球多所機構擔任研究與教學職務，包括北海道大學與中國科學院，並定期在位於斯瓦巴群島的 UNIS 授課。他著作豐富，曾與 Springer 合作出版多本書籍，例如 The Drift of Sea Ice 與 Freezing of Lakes and the Evolution of Their Ice Cover。
Petteri Uotila 是赫爾辛基大學地球物理學教授，專長為極地海洋學。他的研究聚焦於極地海洋及其在氣候系統中的作用，並對海洋模型做出貢獻。他曾在多所頂尖機構擔任研究職務，包括 Monash University、CSIRO，以及 NYU 的 Courant Institute。除了發表大量研究成果外，他也撰寫過海冰建模與海洋—氣候關聯性的書籍章節。
