Geosystems by Robert W Christopherson
For freshman/sophomore-level courses in Physical Geography and Earth Science at 2/4-year colleges and universities. Geosystems is written, organized, and illustrated to give introductory students an accessible, systematic, and visually appealing start in the study of physical geography. Completely updated and fully supported by superior cartography, illustrations, photographs, and remarkable remote sensing imagery, this text gives students and professors an integrated and comprehensive technology program that provides motivation and stimulation.

They attended the 2004 Arctic Climate Impact Symposium in Reykjavik, Iceland to acquire photo and video coverage and research.
