Palaeoclimatology is the study of past climates and climate change, and uses a variety of methods to obtain data preserved within rocks, sediments, ice, tree rings, and shells and other matter. Studies of past changes in the environment and biodiversity can reflect on the current state of the environment, the impacts of climate on mass extinctions, adaptations, migrations, etc. This book focuses on the Holocene Epoch (approximately 11,700 years ago to the present day), and shows how climate changes can be reliably correlated with archaeological evidence. It will examine the impact of climate…mehr

Palaeoclimatology is the study of past climates and climate change, and uses a variety of methods to obtain data preserved within rocks, sediments, ice, tree rings, and shells and other matter.

Autorenporträt
Eustathios Chiotis graduated from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in Mining Engineering (1966), received a first MSc degree in Mineral Exploration at the Imperial College (IC), London, a second one in Petroleum Engineering also from IC, and his PhD from NTUA (1990). He served as director of geophysics at the Public Petroleum Corporation of Greece, Athens, and director of mineral resources evaluation at the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration of Greece, Athens. He has published papers on plate tectonics and the lithospheric structure in the Aegean Sea, oil exploration, Archaeometry and ancient aqueducts in particular. He co-edited the CRC Press handbook on "Underground Aqueducts" (2017) and investigated the climate deterioration as a motive for the innovative exploitation of groundwater. His areas of interest include mineral exploration and mining, petroleum engineering and geophysics, geothermal energy and drilling, Archaeometry and Ancient Greek Technology, Palaeolithics and Quaternary Geology.
