Description

Environmental change is a key issue scientifically, politically and in the public mind. Global Change in the Holocene is a timely and wide-ranging reference addressing the changes which have occurred over the last 10,000 years in climate, sea level, ice coverage and all the major topics of global concern. A major focus is on the methods that can be used to reconstruct past change, including techniques such as radiocarbon dating, microfossil records, ice core analysis and tree-ring chronologies. This book will have a multidisciplinary appeal across subjects such as geography, the earth and environmental sciences, archaeology and geology.
