People in the Americas Before the Last Ice Age Glaciation Concluded An Emerging Western Hemisphere Population Origin Pa


Free Download Bonnye Matthews, "People in the Americas Before the Last Ice Age Glaciation Concluded: An Emerging Western Hemisphere Population Origin Pa"
English | ISBN: 1594337357 | 2017 | 64 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
People in the Americas before the Last Ice Age Glaciation Con- cluded: An Emerging Paradigm on Western Hemisphere Population Origin covers the turn of the century emerging science on the origin of human popu- lation in the western hemisphere. It is a booklet that is designed to provide a reference bridge until the new information can be included in textbook presentations. With the ability to examine DNA evidence on extremely old human remains and findings at greater depth than formerly considered, information grows at a rapid rate. The science is in its infancy, but surprising finds occur moment by moment.

Mining and Construction in Snow and Ice From Test Pits to Long Tunnels


Free Download Mining and Construction in Snow and Ice: From Test Pits to Long Tunnels
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031765079 | 266 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 78 MB
Snow, firn, and ice are the most widespread cryogenic minerals on Earth’s surface. Their properties differ significantly from those of common minerals, and their excavation requires special approaches. The problems of mining and construction in snow and ice could be explained mostly by harsh climate conditions, logistics difficulties, environmental issues and snow-ice related challenges. The primary objective of this book is to list all feasible technologies for mining and construction in snow and ice, and to analyze these from the perspective of applications, problems, and hindrances.

Moving Loads on Ice Plates


Free Download Moving Loads on Ice Plates By Vernon A. Squire, Roger J. Hosking, Arnold D. Kerr, Patricia J. Langhorne (auth.)
1996 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 9401072388 | PDF | 18 MB
Moving Loads on Ice Plates is a unique study into the effect of vehicles and aircraft travelling across floating ice sheets. It synthesizes in a single volume, with a coherent theme and nomenclature, the diverse literature on the topic, hitherto available only as research journal articles. Chapters on the nature of fresh water ice and sea ice, and on applied continuum mechanics are included, as is a chapter on the subject’s venerable history in related areas of engineering and science. The most recent theories and data are discussed in great depth, demonstrating the advanced state of the modelling and experimental field programmes that have taken place. Finally, results are interpreted in the context of engineering questions faced by agencies operating in the polar and subpolar regions. Although the book necessarily contains some graduate level applied mathematics, it is written to allow engineers, physicists and mathematicians to extract the information they need without becoming preoccupied with details. Structural, environmental, civil, and offshore engineers, and groups who support these industries, particularly within the Arctic and Antarctic, will find the book timely and relevant.

Ice Physics and the Natural Environment


Free Download Ice Physics and the Natural Environment By J. S. Wettlaufer (auth.), John S. Wettlaufer, J. Gregory Dash, Norbert Untersteiner (eds.)
1999 | 355 Pages | ISBN: 3642642268 | PDF | 12 MB
The Advanced Study Institute Ice Physics in the Natural and Endangered Environ ment was held at Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy, from September 7 to 19, 1997. The ASI was designed to study the broad range of ice science and technology, and it brought together an appropriately interdisciplinary group of lecturers and students to study the many facets of the subject. The talks and poster presentations explored how basic molecular physics of ice have important environmental consequences, and, con versely, how natural phenomena present new questions for fundamental study. The of lectures discusses these linkages, in order that overall unity of following sunimary the subject and this volume can be perceived. Not all of the lecturers and participants were able to contribute a written piece, but their active involvement was crucial to the success of the Institute and thereby influenced the content of the volume. We began the Institute by retracing the history of the search for a microscopic un derstanding of melting. Our motivation was straightforward. Nearly every phenome non involving ice in the environment is influenced by the change of phase from solid to liquid or vice-versa. Hence, a sufficiently deep physical picture of the melting tran sition enriches our appreciation of a vast array of geophysical and technical problems.
