This chapter introduces the basic definitions of a glacier and of the glaciosystem (a term coined by the author which refers to the glacier ecosystem). It describes glaciers, and through interactive links, shows the reader glaciers that can be viewed on a smart phone or computer. The chapter also describes the origin and formation of glaciers and their various functions. It introduces the life cycle of a glacier and also explains past and likely future ice ages (or glacial periods) as well as dynamics that may deepen global warming and impede the natural glacial age cycles, including the orbit of the Earth around the sun and its tilt and its relative influence on ice ages.

AbstractA method of quantitative climatological analysis is developed by applying the principle of geometric similarity to the convective heat transport, which is assumed to vary with the 1.5 power of temperature difference. The method makes possible the calculation of the change in the mean annual, or seasonal temperature, produced by a variation in insolation, cloudiness, snow cover, etc.It is shown that the variations in the orbital elements of the earth cannot account for the phenomena of the ice ages; the chronology of the Quaternary, based on these variations, has no real foundation.Palaeoclimatic variations are most probably due to variations of solar luminosity. These can be traced to periodical re-adjustments in the interior of the sun, produced by an interplay between nuclear reactions and gas diffusion, repeating themselves after some 250 million years. Complications from the outer envelope of the sun lead to additional fluctuations of a shorter period, of the order of 100,000 years to be identified with the periodical advance and retreat of the glaciers during the Quaternary.Calculations of the variations of luminosity in a star of solar mass substantiate this hypothesis.

Climate changes on planet Earth are mainly caused by disturbances in the energy balance of the Sun-Earth system. This process is the result of both natural changes in nature and the influence of anthropogenic factors. The combined effect of these factors can lead to threatening phenomena for mankind - a decrease in the power of the ozone layer, the formation of “ozone holes” and global warming on the planet and other disasters. The study of the causes of these factors and the determination of their relative contribution is one of the pressing problems of our time.

Regional development engineering in coastal areas, tidal land reclamation, delta area reclamation and port planning, tidal knowledge is very important. Tides mainly occur due to the gravitational forces of the moon, sun, and other planets. The influence of different gravitational forces can be predicted precisely because the rotation and revolutionary movements of the earth, moon, sun, and other planets take place with very high order. The tidal period every day is mainly determined by the rotation of the earth with a 24-hour period. Influence of the sun even though its attraction is only half that of the lunar pull, its influence should not be ignored As understood months around the earth with a period of about 29.5 days. When the position of the moon-earth-sun is in line, the tidal forces of the sun and moon strengthen each other. At that time spring tide occurred. Whereas if the sun-earth forms an angle of 90 degrees, then the minimum tides occur (neap tide). The two conditions are about 7 days old, according to the moon's revolution. Because of the influence of the inertia of the mass of water, the spring and neap tide occur between one and three days after these extreme conditions occur. In short-term studies often researchers take extreme conditions, namely during the tidal peak and peak tide (spring tide), because it does not require a long time compared to researching during a longer tide period. The research approach that will be carried out is whether the tide and peak peaks still occur 1-3 days after the full moon and the dead moon, whether there is a change in the height of the tide and ebb during a certain period due to global warming. As a result of global warming, it is also an effect on the water level of the Barito River. There was a decrease in the maximum water level which previously was around 3 m, now only around 2 m, the minimum water level previously around 2 m was now below 1 m. This will affect the hydrotopographic conditions of tidal swamp land, land that was previously type A can change to type B and so on. The highest tides on the Barito River often occur in the dead months, namely the 1st and 29th of the Hijri.

Earth's Crust

In this paper, the authors theorize that all planets rotate about their axis due to their satellites. The planet and its satellite are interconnected by a shared gravity, which moves along the surface of the planet as the result of the satellite moving in an orbit. The discussed movement of gravity applies to all planets and the Sun. The shared gravity is at its maximum on the Earth and Sun surface. Based on this theory, the paper discusses causes for global warming. The hypothesis of the Earth’s crust being a cause for global warming is analyzed. In addition, an analysis of Friedmann’s theory in terms of possible galactic velocities is presented in the article.

Global warming has been considered due to carbon dioxide emission and efforts are diverted to reduce the carbon dioxide emission. In this paper some different approach has been highlighted. In the Sun hydrogen fusion reaction has been going on for last 5 billion years. This fusion reaction has been yielding helium gas and it is believed that hydrogen gas is almost consumed and helium fusion has started. This fusion produces almost 100 times more heat causing the surface of the Sun getting more temperature. Due this increase in the Sun’s temperature, temperature on the earth is also increased which we experience as global warming. This paper discusses this view in depth.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.

Drawing from in situ fieldwork in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the northernmost settlement on Earth, these notes bring out the affective, ambient, and atmospheric power of extended darkness during the polar night, when the sun does not appear above the horizon for several months at a time. Each entry is composed of 113 words to reflect the number of days without light in Longyearbyen during the winter of my visit. Through a mixture of ethnographic observations, researched academic scholarship, and some endeavors of poetic worldmaking, these notes attempt to evoke the ineffable force of global warming by performing the sort of acutely observed and felt attentiveness to planetary being that is needed for our time.

Emission Of Greenhouse Gases

The global warming which preoccupies humanity, is still considered to be linked to a single cause which is the emission of greenhouse gases, CO2 in particular. In this article, we try to show that, on the one hand, the greenhouse effect (the radiative imprisonment to use the scientific term) took place in conjunction with the infrared radiation emitted by the earth. The surplus of CO2 due to the combustion of fossil fuels, but also the surplus of infrared emissions from artificialized soils contribute together or each separately,  to the imbalance of the natural greenhouse effect and the trend of global warming. In addition, another actor acting directly and instantaneously on the warming of the ambient air is the heat released by fossil fuels estimated at 17415.1010 kWh / year inducing a rise in temperature of 0.122 ° C, or 12.2 ° C / century.
