Cryospheric Processes and Climate Change
Description
This course explores the nature and processes of the response of the cryosphere - the Earth's snow and ice - to climate change. Various scientific dimensions of the issue are explored, including glacier mass balance, snow pack behaviour and variability and periglacial processes. The focus is on the cryosphere in New Zealand and Antarctica. Sensitivity and response to changing climate conditions is a central theme. The course includes a field trip to the Franz Josef Glacier and the Craigieburn Mountains.
