This book iS a concise and synthetic monograph of Glacier Inventory of China,which consists of 12 volumes and 22 books.For convenience,we predigest the detailed data in Glacier Inventory of China,and add some new information about glaciers and environmental changes in each glaciered region,and new knowledge about glacier changes and theirinfluence on water resources.This book consists of nine chapters.including the distribution of glaciers in each drainage system in China,glacier changes and its meltwater runoff.Especially is given an in-depthdiscourse by drainage basin,the amount of glaciers in statistics tablesand maps of glacier distribution,classic glacier images and photossupplemented newly. This book is a systematic,all-round work in glacier resources andenvironmental changes,with abundant and original data and a mass ofbeautiful pictures.This book has offered a scientific support to naturalstrategy of water resources and management in Development of the WestRegions of China.It iS a useful reference book for those who do researchin geography,water conservancy,disaster prevention and environment,and also for educational and productive purpose.
