Researchers in the fields of geocryology and glaciology often work in isolation from each other even though the interaction between glaciers and permafrost strongly influences a range of erosional and depositional processes, as well as groundwater and surface hydrology. The publication of the volume Cryospheric Systems: Glaciers and Permafrost, which attempts to bring together work by glaciologists and geocryologists, is therefore timely. The editors state that the aim of the volume is to highlight the interactions between glaciers and permafrost in order to stimulate further cross-disciplinary research between the two fields. The book comprises a series of papers concerned with processes occurring at the permafrost–glacier interface, as well as papers focusing solely on . . . [Full Text of this Article]
