Principles of Paleoclimatology

Summary

Using the geologic records of ocean and lake sediment, ice cores, corals, and other natural archives, Principles of Paleoclimatology describes the history of the Earth's climate-the ice age cycles, sea level changes, volcanic activity, changes in atmosphere and solar radiation-and the resulting, sometimes catastrophic, biotic responses.
