Kronenberg, J. Global warming, glaciers and gold mining. GLOBAL WARMING, GLACIERS AND GOLD MINING
Two case studies (Kumtor in the Kyrgyz Republic and Pascua-Lama in Chile–Argentina) are analysed, illustrating how gold mining interferes with glaciers and how this may be affected by changing perceptions on global warming. Although global warming presents new opportunities for the mining industry, increasing the physical accessibility of resources previously covered with glaciers, it may also ...
متن کاملContrasting responses of Central Asian rock glaciers to global warming
While the responses of Tien Shan glaciers--and glaciers elsewhere--to climatic changes are becoming increasingly well understood, this is less the case for permafrost in general and for rock glaciers in particular. We use a novel approach to describe the climate sensitivity of rock glaciers and to reconstruct periods of high and low rock glacier activity in the Tien Shan since 1895. Using more ...
متن کاملGlobal warming and its effect on the environmental human health
Earth's ecosystem has been active for millions of years without particular problems and may lead the development of variety of animal species around the world.
متن کاملSensitivity and response of Bhutanese glaciers to atmospheric warming
[1] Glacierized change in the Himalayas affects riverdischarge, hydro-energy and agricultural production, and Glacial Lake Outburst Flood potential, but its quantification and extent of impacts remains highly uncertain. Here we present conservative, comprehensive and quantitative predictions for glacier area and meltwater flux changes in Bhutan, monsoonal Himalayas. In particular, we quantify t...
متن کاملGlobal warming
The role of General Circulation Models (GCMs) has become predominantly important as the practical interest in regional impacts from anthropogenic greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) grows. This first report documents the quality of GCMs as a tool for describing and predicting ‘global warming’ and the related geographical pattern of climate change from the CO2 added to Earth’s atmosphere.
