"Glaciology is the scientific study of glaciers, or more generally ice and natural phenomena that involve ice."
The study of glaciers, ice sheets, and their effects on Earth's climate and landscape.
Glaciers: A large body of ice that flows under its own weight due to gravity.
Ice Sheets: A mass of glacial ice that covers more than 50,000 square kilometers of land.
Ice Cores: Cylindrical samples of ice that are recovered from glaciers and ice sheets for analysis of past climate changes.
Glacier Dynamics: The physical processes involved in the formation, movement, and melting of glaciers.
Glacier Mass Balance: The difference between the amount of snow accumulation and ice loss for a glacier over a period of time.
Glaciological Modeling: The use of computer models to simulate the behavior of glaciers over time.
Glacial Hydrology: The study of the movement and distribution of water within glaciers.
Glacial Geology: The study of the landforms, sediments, and other geological features associated with glaciers.
Glacial Geophysics: The use of geophysical methods to study the internal structure and properties of glaciers.
Paleoglaciology: The study of past glaciations and their influence on climate and the environment.
"Glaciology is an interdisciplinary Earth science that integrates geophysics, geology, physical geography, geomorphology, climatology, meteorology, hydrology, biology, and ecology."
"The impact of glaciers on people includes the fields of human geography and anthropology."
"Glaciology (from Latin glacies 'frost, ice', and Ancient Greek λόγος (logos) 'subject matter'; lit. 'study of ice')"
"...or more generally ice and natural phenomena that involve ice."
"The discoveries of water ice on the Moon, Mars, Europa, and Pluto add an extraterrestrial component to the field, which is referred to as 'astroglaciology'."
