Assessing the Antarctic Environment from a Climate Change Perspective (eBook, PDF)

An Integrated Approach
Redaktion: Khare, Neloy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The present book covers diversified contributions addressing the impact of climate change on the Antarctic environment. It covers the reconstruction of environmental changes using different proxies. The chapters focus on the glacial history, glacial geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry of Antarctic region. Furthermore, the Cenozoic evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet is discussed along with a Scientometrics analysis of climate change research. The book serves as a useful reference for researchers who are fascinated by the polar region and environmental research.
