Records can be found in a range of natural sources, including microfossils, and their analysis can make important contributions to studies of contemporary globalenvironmental issues such as climate change, water pollution and acidification.This is the first text which aims to explain the practical applications of the analysis of microfossils to undergraduate and graduate students of the earth and environmental sciences. Including pedagogic features such as chapter summaries, highlighted key words, annotated guides to further readingand an appendix of statistical techniques, the book is extensively illustrated throughout and includes a wide range of fully international examples and case studies. This book will be an invaluable guide for students of geography, geology, oceanography, environmental archaeology and environmentalscience.
