Om denne e-boken

How Ice Forms explores the fascinating science behind something we often take for granted: ice. It reveals how the molecular processes of ice formation are crucial for understanding global weather patterns, climate change, and the health of our planet's ecosystems. The book emphasizes that current climate models, which often oversimplify these processes, may lead to inaccurate predictions about sea-level rise and extreme weather events.

The book uniquely presents a comprehensive view of how ice impacts our world. It begins with the basics of water's molecular structure and gradually builds to cover complex topics like the role of aerosols in atmospheric ice nucleation, the impact of ice on ocean circulation, and the stability of permafrost regions. For instance, the book highlights that ice influences global albedo, affecting how much sunlight Earth reflects and, consequently, its temperature. It connects earth sciences with atmospheric science and oceanography.

How Ice Forms adopts an accessible approach, making complex scientific concepts understandable through real-world examples. It progresses logically through the material, using laboratory experiments, satellite observations, and climate model simulations to support its arguments. The book concludes with discussions on the practical implications of ice formation for climate modeling and geoengineering, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in environmental science.
