Sinopse

Snow Erosion Effects explores the significant role of snow in shaping landscapes, an often underestimated force in Earth Sciences. It examines how snow, through processes like nivation and freeze-thaw weathering, directly erodes land. The book also investigates how snow modifies the impact of other erosional agents, such as water and wind, influencing everything from landslide susceptibility to the redirection of wind patterns. This comprehensive analysis is unique in its holistic approach, integrating diverse research strands to illustrate the complex interactions between snow, water, wind, and landforms. For example, snow cover can amplify freeze-thaw weathering, leading to increased erosion rates in cold regions.

 
The book progresses by first defining key terms and outlining the physical properties of snow, then detailing the direct erosive power of snow, how snow modifies other erosion-causing agents, and finally examining current modeling techniques and their limitations.

 
Targeted at students and professionals in geography, environmental science, and related fields, the book draws from field observations, experimental studies, and numerical modeling to provide a thorough understanding of snow's multifaceted impact on landscape evolution. It also discusses the implications of snow erosion in the context of climate change, land management, and natural hazard mitigation.

    One woman's enlightening trek through the natural histories, cultural stories, and present perils of thirteen national monuments 
     
     
     
    Starting amid the sagebrush of Bears Ears National Monument on the eve of the Trump Administration's decision to reduce the site by eighty-five percent, McKenzie Long climbs sandstone cliffs, is awed by Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings, and is intrigued by 4,000-year-old petroglyphs. She hikes through remote pink canyons recently removed from the boundary of Grand Staircase–Escalante, skis to a backcountry hut in Maine to view a truly dark night sky, snorkels in warm Hawaiian waters to plumb the meaning of marine preserves, volunteers near the most contaminated nuclear site in the US, and witnesses firsthand the diverse forms of devotion evoked by the Rio Grande. In essays both contemplative and resonant, this book confronts an unjust past and imagines a collaborative future that bears witness to these regions' enduring Indigenous connections. 
     
     
     
    From climate change realities to volatile tensions between economic development and environmental conservation, practical and philosophical issues arise as Long seeks the complicated and often overlooked stories of these incomparable places. Her journey emphasizes in clear and urgent terms the unique significance of, and grave threats to, these contested lands.

    - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
    - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
    - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
    - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
    - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
    - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
    - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
    - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
    - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
    - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
    - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
    - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
    - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.
