Remote Sensing of Glaciers Techniques for Topographic Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers

Remote Sensing of Glaciers Techniques for Topographic Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers

Glaciers and ice sheets have been melting significantly during recent decades posing environmental threats at local regional and global scales. Changes in glaciers are one of the clearest indicators of alterations in regional climate since they are governed by changes in accumulation (from snowfall) and ablation (by melting of ice). Glacier changes have been measured for the last century by traditional field measurements resulting in long time series for a few glaciers. Remote sensing data and methods and geographic information systems provide the means to allow glacier changes to be monitored at a global scale to be analysed rapidly and to store the results and present information to both scientific and popular audiences in a way which was not possible before the digital revolution. Remote sensing of glaciers began with terrestrial and aerial photography during the middle of the 20th century but today the discipline embraces a large variety of data types from laser scanner data to very high resolution satellite imagery which can be applied to the mapping of glacier changes in terms of area surface zonation or thickness. This book highlights the history of the remote sensing of glaciers the physics of glaciers and remote sensing of them and focuses particularly on modern data and methods used by remote sensing specialists and glaciologists. The book presents examples of glacier research carried out for example in the Alps Norway Iceland Caucasus Patagonia Rocky Mountains Pakistan Antarctica New Zealand and Svalbard. This book is of interest to specialists and students working in the field of remote sensing glaciology physical geography geology and climate change. | Remote Sensing of Glaciers Techniques for Topographic Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers

In the current push to convert to renewable sources of energy many issues raised years ago on the economics and the difficulties of siting energy storage are once again being raised today. When large amounts of wind solar and other renewable energy sources are added to existing electrical grids efficient and manageable energy storage becomes a crucial component to allowing a range of eco-friendly resources to play a significant role in our energy system. In order to fulfill our intended goal of diminishing dependence on non-renewable sources of energy and reducing our carbon footprint we must find a way to store and convert these novel resources into practical solutions. Based on the efforts of a University of Colorado team devoted to increasing the use of renewable energy production within the current electrical power grid Large Energy Storage Systems Handbook examines a number of ways that energy can be stored and converted back to electricity. Examining how to enhance renewable generation energy storage relative to economic and carbon impact this book discusses issues of reliability siting economics and efficiency. Chapters include the practicalities of energy storage generation and absorption of electrical power; the difficulties of intermittent generation; and the use of pumped and underground pumped hydroelectric energy storage. The book highlights the storage of compressed air battery energy solar thermal and natural gas sources of energy. Heavily referenced and easily accessible to policy makers developers and students alike this book provides contributions from those active in the field for coverage of many important topics. With this book as a foundation these pioneers can develop the capacity of power grids to handle high renewable energy generation penetration and provide a brighter future for generations to come.

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Clandestine labs that manufacture drugs or explosives may be encountered virtually anywhere. They can range from complex operations employing scientific equipment and exotic chemicals or simply kitchen utensils and chemicals purchased at a local grocery or hardware store. Regardless of their form the key to detecting clandestine labs is the ability to recognize the combinations of equipment and chemicals that constitute the lab in the first place. The first line of defense against the manufacturers—who supply the drug trade and terrorists with their tools of destruction—is law enforcement the fire services and other emergency responders. Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition provides the information necessary to recognize operations that produce these deadly brews. As with the prior edition the book has sections covering the chemicals and equipment commonly used in the manufacture of drugs and explosives. They are grouped in a manner that allows the emergency responder to quickly identify common combinations of equipment and chemicals that could potentially be used to manufacture drugs or explosives. Since many clandestine manufacturing operations use commonly available materials that have legitimate uses the author outlines how to quickly assess and recognize key indicators associated with clandestine laboratory operations. Sections within the book address information concerning both the hazards associated with those chemicals involved and the personal protective equipment needed to abate the hazards. In addition documentation requirements field-testing and sampling procedures are detailed for use once the operation has been seized and secured. Reproducible worksheets are provided to be used either as or to supplement the on-scene investigators’ field notes and assist in providing a standardized manner to objectively record information about the crime scene. The ability to identify the tools used to manufacture contraband drugs and explosives is a key element in the battle against drug abuse and terrorism making the Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition an indispensible resource for responders and investigators alike.

Textbook of Ion Channels Volume II Properties Function and Pharmacology of the Superfamilies

The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes that provides a wide-ranging refer- ence source on ion channels for students instructors and researchers. Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells; mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light sound odor and taste; and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excit- able tissues ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment as well as the membrane of intracellular organelles allowing them to regulate internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for human health and diseases and are important targets for pharmaceuticals in mental illness heart disease anesthesia pain and other clinical appli- cations. The modern methods used in their study are powerful and diverse ranging from single ion-channel measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in animals and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs. Volume II starts with ion channel taxonomy and features coverage of major ion channel families and describes the physiological role structural components gating mechanisms and biophysics permeation and selectivity regulation pharmacology and roles in dis- ease mechanisms. Channels in this volume include voltage-activated sodium calcium and potassium channels inward-rectifier and two-pore domain potassium channels calcium- activated potassium channels cyclic nucleotide-gated channels pacemaker ion channels chloride channels ligand-gated receptors activated by acetylcholine glutamate 5-HT3 GABA and glycine acid-sensing channels P2X receptors TRP channels store-operated channels pressure-activated piezo channels ryanodine receptors and proton channels. All three volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels; a guide to the technical aspects of ion channel research; offer a modern guide to the properties of major ion channel families; and include coverage of key examples of regulatory physiological and disease roles for ion channels. | Textbook of Ion Channels Volume II Properties Function and Pharmacology of the Superfamilies
