Description

Here is a synthesis of the current information on paleoclimate data, analyses, and modeling techniques throughout the world. Covering a diverse range of subjects, from historic weather data to circulation modeling, Paleoclimate Analysis and Modeling is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the major sources and techniques used to obtain and analyze paleoclimate data. Organised by source material such as tree rings, pollen data, and ocean cores, the book provides detailed introductions to many related disciplines and links the concepts of the atmospheric sciences to the interpretation of geologic data. Each chapter covers all available data and methods of analysis, and summarizes the global distributions of paleoclimate data using tables and maps.
