ABSTRACT
The aim of this book is to provide an up-to-date introduction to the study of glaciers. It is intended to be of value not only to researchers and advanced students, but also to undergraduates and non-professionals with an interest in glaciers. The book is organised so that it can either be read sequentially from start to finish as a review of the subject, or, with the help of the index, used as a source of reference to specific topics.
