Robin quickly established a research focus in glaciology and gathered staff and students to work on various aspects of ice and snow.
Lectures and workshop subjects included geology, geopolitics, social and cultural history, terrestrial ecology, marine biology, glaciology, oceanography and hydrology, atmospheric sciences, ornithology, and environmental studies.
This book aims to provide such students, and less-experienced researchers, with a practical guide to a range of techniques in glaciology and glacial geomorphology.
It is by viewing these that one is able to see the importance of his contribution to glaciology.
The remainder of the book is divided into superbly comprehensive chapters on a variety of techniques in glaciology and those used to investigate and map glacial geomorphology.
They had travelled over 1000 km and had studied all of the following aspects of science: topography, geology, glaciology, biology and meteorology.
Snow and ice have had a central role in polar research, and the scientific study of glaciology as a consequence has played a major part.
Permits are strictly issued only for specific scientific research in the field of paleontology, paleoclimate, geology, geomorphology, glaciology, biology and limnology.
