Travel will be by bus, charter boat, and charter aircraft, with stops at Portage Glacier, Whittier, Columbia Glacier, Valdez, Yakutat, Glacier Bay, and Juneau. There is nearly 75,000 square kilometers of glacier ice in Alaska. The major portion is concentrated in the Chugach and St. Elias Ranges through which the field trip traverses. In the region are major advancing and retreating tidewater glaciers, major piedmont glaciers, and surging glaciers. Columbia Glacier is in the early stage of a drastic retreat; Hubbard Glacier is advancing and recently dammed a major fjord; Variegated Glacier recently made a major surge; the glaciers in Glacier Bay underwent a drastic retreat during the last two centuries, resulting in a glacially formed landscape that has only a recent vegetation cover. Southern Alaska has a diverse history, climate, botany, and zoology. Many of the original native cultures of North America came together in Prince William Sound. Russian fur traders and gold miners came and went, and fishing and tourism dominate the present economy. The climate of southern Alaska is maritime, with substantial precipitation and mild temperatures. The topography has a strong effect on the maritime air masses, resulting in heavy snowfalls and the development of active glaciers on seaward-facing slopes. The succession of vegetation is remarkable, ranging from barren, recently ice-free areas to forest-suffocating muskeg. Southern Alaska also is known for an abundance of marine mammals, including sea otter, seal, sea lion, porpoise, and various species of whales. On land, bear, moose, deer, wolverine, and mountain goat are common; other wildlife is abundant also.GlaciersGlaciers.551.312KrimmelPQKBBOOK9910830952403321Glaciers and Glaciology of Alaska2189957UNINA02645nam 22004933 450 991100929360332120240907060232.097821402014862140201485(CKB)4900000000575168(VLeBooks)9782336952222(MiAaPQ)EBC31644578(Au-PeEL)EBL31644578(Exl-AI)31644578(OCoLC)1492929853(EXLCZ)99490000000057516820240907d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNature's Ultimatum The Stakes and Prospects of the United States' Urgent Return to the Climate Battle1st ed.Paris :Editions L'Harmattan,2022.©2022.1 online resource (1 p.)9782336952222 233695222X 9782343253626 2343253625 In this book, Michel Innocent Peya focuses on "climate finance" and the withdrawal and return of the world's leading power, the United States, in the battle against climate change, by assessing its real financial impact in order to fight collectively against the ultimatum given by nature. The States are determined to take up the challenge and assume their responsibilities, as the Biden administration has done, in order to wage the "people's battle" against global warming and the perils that it may cause in the medium term. A vibrant appeal is launched to all the world's decision-makers as well as to state and non-state actors. As the years go by, the planet is experiencing rising temperatures and precipitation is constantly increasing. These are the results of a multiform pollution that threatens the existence of nations. Our beautiful nature is being devastated by greenhouse gas emissions and ever-increasing waste. The few world powers, those that can be qualified as major polluters, are few in number but threaten the balance of our system to the detriment of collective well-being. What will become of our planet, our environment, if the community of polluters continues to refuse to take its responsibilities?Climate change mitigationGenerated by AIEnvironmental policyGenerated by AIClimate change mitigationEnvironmental policyPeya Michel Innocent1081036MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911009293603321Nature's Ultimatum4395954UNINA
