Geological Perspectives of Global Climate Change (AAPG Studies in Geology) (Aapg Studies in Geology)

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.
