Synopsis

Access a broad range of paleoclimatic studies. Current debates regarding potential maninduced modification of climate make this volume especially timely.

* Introductory sections address the major and minor physical controls, or drivers, that affect Earth's climate.
* Several chapters describe the naturally occurring range of variation of climatic conditions and illustrate past changes in global temperatures.
* Case studies show how ancient conditions are determined, as well as new techniques that have significant potential as proxies for assessing paleoclimates.
* Several chapters demonstrate the magnitude and length of duration of numerous temperature variations, which occurred during geologic time periods.

Geoscientists; life, earth, and atmospheric scientists; educators; research workers; and policymakers will appreciate having this well-timed publication.
