Ostracoda as Proxies for Quaternary Climate Change
Elsevier Science 2012; US$ 225.00Ostracod crustaceans, common microfossils in marine and freshwater sedimentary records, supply evidence of past climatic conditions via indicator species, transfer function and mutual climatic range approaches as well as the trace element and stable isotope geochemistry of their shells. As methods of using ostracods as Quaternary palaeoclimate proxies... more...
Statistical Methods for Spatial Planning and Monitoring
Springer 2012; US$ 79.99The book aims to investigate methods and techniques for spatial statistical analysis suitable to model spatial information in support of decision systems. Over the last few years there has been a considerable interest in these tools and in the role they can play in spatial planning and environmental modelling. One of the earliest and most famous definition... more...
Quaternary Environmental Change in the Tropics
Wiley 2012; US$ 90.95The global climate changes that led to the expansion and contraction of high latitude ice sheets during the Quaternary period were associated with equally dramatic changes in tropical environments. These included shifts in vegetation zones, changes in the hydrology and ecology of lakes and rivers, and fluctuations in the size of mountain glaciers and... more...
Reconstructing Earth's Climate History
Wiley 2012; US$ 175.00The context for understanding global climate change today lies in the records of Earth’s past. This is demonstrated by decades of paleoclimate research by scientists in organizations such as the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), the Antarctic Geological Drilling Program (ANDRILL), and many others. The purpose of this full colour textbook... more...
Late Quaternary Climate Change and Human Adaptation in Arid China
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 195.00Due to political pressures, prior to the 1990s little was known about the nature of human foraging adaptations in the deserts, grasslands, and mountains of north western China during the last glacial period. Even less was known about the transition to agriculture that followed. Now open to foreign visitation, there is now an increasing understanding... more...
Borehole Climatology
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 240.00Climate for the 21st century is expected to be considerably different from the present and recent past. Industrialization growth combined with the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and massive deforestation are well above the values over the past several decades and are expected to further grow. Air temperature is rising rapidly well as... more...
The Two-Mile Time Machine
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 25.95Richard Alley, one of the world's leading climate researchers, tells the fascinating history of global climate changes as revealed by reading the annual rings of ice from cores drilled in Greenland. In the 1990s he and his colleagues made headlines with the discovery that the last ice age came to an abrupt end over a period of only three years. Here... more...
Paleoclimates
Columbia University Press 2009; US$ 94.99The field of paleoclimatology relies on physical, chemical, and biological proxies of past climate changes that have been preserved in natural archives such as glacial ice, tree rings, sediments, corals, and speleothems. Paleoclimate archives obtained through field investigations, ocean sediment coring expeditions, ice sheet coring programs, and... more...
Past Climate Variability in South America and Surrounding Regions
Springer 2009; US$ 99.99Groups together overviews and original research papers that deal with South American climate variability from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. This book deals with tropical, temperate and high latitudes climate variability in South America. It is suitable for those interested in global environmental change. more...
Natural Climate Variability and Global Warming
Wiley 2009; US$ 129.95Whilst there is now overwhelming evidence that greenhouse-gas pollution is becoming the dominant process responsible for global warming, it is also clear that the climate system varies quite naturally on different time-scales. Predicting the course of future climate change consequently requires an understanding of the natural variability of the climate... more...
