Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique perspective on the scientific discoveries of James Forbes regarding the behavior of glaciers, researched through detailed observations and analysis of the Montanvert Glacier in 1842. Throughout the book, the author highlights the transformation brought about by Forbes' work, shifting glacier science away from previous assumptions based on limited visual data, to an understanding rooted in rigorous measurements. Forbes' innovative approaches challenged prevailing theories and provided foundational principles for subsequent scientific exploration in this field. Key concepts introduced by the author include the concept of the glacier as a viscous, flowing entity and the concept of regelation, which explained the influence of pressure and temperature on the structure and behavior of ice. The book delves into the complexities of glacial dynamics and explores the theories and discoveries that have shaped our knowledge of these icy giants. By shedding light on the development of glaciology and the crucial role played by Forbes in its advancement, this book is a captivating exploration of a scientific revolution that continues to impact our understanding of Earth's physical processes.
