商品簡介
The years since the second edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments have seen an exponential increase in the volume of literature written on the Quaternary. New methods and technological advances have given rise to a number of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research groups able to offer startling insights in to short- and long- term climatic changes.
This third edition has been revised and updated to address these developments and to freshly examine the various forms of evidence that can be used to establish the history and scale of environmental changes during the Quaternary. Building on the format previously established it reviews the geomorphological, lithological and biological evidence that compromises the Quaternary record, describes and evaluates dating methods and considers how these elements can be bought together in a robust stratigraphic framework. A new final chapter demonstrates how results using these different methods and approaches can by synergised to provide an overview of global environmental change. Compelling new evidence from the integration of polar ice and marine isotopes records allow the authors to examine a series of themes relating to climate change at a number of spatial scales and over a series of time intervals that become progressively shorter towards the present day.
Clearly Illustrated to demonstrate key concepts and with progressive learning techniques employed throughout this new edition will be of interest to undergraduate students and professionals of Earth Science, Environmental Science, Physical Geography, Geology, Botany, Zoology, Ecology, Archaeology and Anthropology.
