The evaluation of ice and snow tourism resource value

2013 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering 20th Annual Conference Proceedings, 2013
With the development of the economy and people's life, the ice and snow tourism has been developing rapidly, and the development of ice and snow tourism industry has attracted more and more attention. Thus, the evaluation of ice and snow tourism resource value becomes an important issue in ice and snow tourism research.

Seasonal Prediction of the evolution of ice and snow resources

2019
Based on long-term climate predictions, cryosphere resources in the Alps are projected to decline, until almost complete extinction of many glaciated areas within a few decades. However, for the management and planning of water resources, it is crucial to rely on accurate predictions of the evolution of ice and snow resources on the seasonal scale ...

ICE: information center expert: a consultation system for resource allocation

ACM SIGMIS Database: the DATABASE for Advances in Information Systems, 1988
This paper demonstrates the viability of a rule-based consultation system as a mechanism for effective resource management through integration of knowledge about users, business problems, and resources. The specific domain within which the expert system will be tested is the Information Center (IC), which deals with end-user computing resources. In the

The ice balance of the world's oceans and the ice resources involved

Polar Geography and Geology, 1986
Abstract Calculations were made of the ice balance of the world's oceans and also of the Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean individually on the basis of published data from field observations; these calculations characterized the components of the ice balance throughout their annual cycle on the basis of mean long‐term conditions.

Mapping ice resources on Mars

2021
The Mars Subsurface Water Ice Mapping (SWIM) Project is a NASA-funded effort using orbital remote-sensing data to map mid-latitude buried ice as a resource to support human missions. Prior studies have investigated the presence and stability of Martian ice with a view toward understanding recent climate history.

Iced Freshwater Resources: A Legal Exploration*

Yearbook of International Environmental Law, 2009
Freshwater scarcity is becoming a reality. From the water wars in California, to the latent water conM icts in the Middle East, to the restricted access to water by indigenous peoples in Latin America, water scarcity has ceased to be a potential problem and become an actual threat.1 And it is a particularly pressing one, if one considers the population

Applied Ice Engineering for Exploring Arctic Natural Resources

ISCORD 2013, 2013
Ice roads over the Arctic tundra and sea ice have been constructed for decades and create the opportunity to explore remote natural resources and continue to prove the industry can find, and safely produce, cold region resources while protecting the environment.

Research on the Development Evaluation of Snow-ice Tourism Resources

2007 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering, 2007
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the framework and measurement of development evaluation of the snow-ice tourism resources. The definition and category of snow-ice tourism resources are identified. A destination-oriented CSSRR(Core, Supportive, Subsidiary and Reserved Resources) category is introduced to help understand the tourism resources ...

THE WORLD ATLAS OF SNOW AND ICE RESOURCES: A REVIEW

Mapping Sciences and Remote Sensing, 1999
The results of work on the World Atlas of Snow and Ice Resources during the 1970s and 1980s, headed by the Institute of Geography, USSR Academy of Sciences, are examined. Information is given on the purposes, structure, and special features of the Atlas, and the role of snow and ice phenomena in the Earth's geographical shell is characterized ...
