Sinopse

Ice Sheet Breakpoints explores cutting-edge techniques for assessing the stability of ice sheets, focusing on acoustic monitoring and layered compression analysis. The book argues for a combined approach to better predict ice sheet disintegration and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Intriguingly, the subtle sounds emitted by stressed ice, from faint crackling to groans, can serve as an early warning system, while analyzing how ice layers compress reveals hidden structural weaknesses. The book uniquely emphasizes the synergy between acoustic monitoring and structural analysis, presenting a unified framework for understanding ice durability. It progresses from fundamental concepts of ice mechanics to detailed examinations of acoustic monitoring techniques and layered compression analysis. The evidence is drawn from diverse sources, including field studies, lab experiments, and remote sensing data, offering a meticulously researched analysis beneficial for glaciologists, climate scientists, and policymakers alike.

Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses...

Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner,...

As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
