The relations between climate and plant distributions are explored in graphical and tabular form. The results of this effort are primarily intended for use in biogeographic, paleoclimatic, and global-change research. The internet version of this publication provides access to the text, digital representations of figures, and supplemental data files. AGU Reference Shelf Series, Vol. This volume surveys the established and experimental means of dating Quaternary surficial materials.
Experts review the basic theory, procedures, accuracy and applications for each method.
A series of case studies illuminate the key role of geochronology in Quaternary geology and the emerging field of paleoseismology. This is an authoritative reference for Quaternary scientists, geochronologists, paleoseismologists and students. Mechanisms of Global Climate Change at Millennial Time Scales Peter U. Clark, Robert S. Webb, and Lloyd D. Keigwin, Editors. Geophysical Monograph, Vol. This book focuses on the current understanding of abrupt climate variations that have occurred at these frequencies, events now recognized as characteristic of the global climate during the last glaciation.
