内容説明
This collection of contributed papers reconstructs events following the major Paleozoic glaciation, using as analogue events during the last 18,000 years. The detailed analysis of present environments aims to aid readers in understanding what triggered the ancient deglaciations; conversely, the study of the ancient geological record will help to identify factors that influence global environmental change.
目次
- Part I The quarternary - the last glaciation and deglaciation: northern hemisphere (Laurentide) deglaciation - processes and responses of ice sheet/ocean interactions
- the last Scandinavian ice sheet and its down-wasting
- environment and climate of Sartan maximum and the late glacial in Siberia
- termination of the pleistocene and holocene changes in South America and other glaciated parts of the southern hemisphere. Part II The quarternary - macro-processes: sediment deformation beneath the Laurentide ice sheet
- megafloods and glaciation. Part III The permo-carboniferous - a paleographic reconstruction: Permian world topography and climate. Part IV The permo-carboniferous - the distribution and effect of the major glaciers of Gondwana
- glacial-postglacial transition in the late Paleozoic basins of southern South America
- a review of the permo-carboniferous glaciation in Africa
- transition from freezing to subtropical climates in the permo-carboniferous of Afro-Arabia and India
- Permian postglacial environments of the Australian Plate
- upper paleozoic glacial and postglacial deposits, central Transantarctic mountains, Antarctica
- some problems of the Permian (Asselian) glaciation and the subsequent climate in the Permian. Part V An older, precambrian glaciation - a comparative analysis: tectonic and glacio-eustatic controls on postglacial stratigraphy - proterozoic examples. Part IV quaternary and permo-carboniferous terrestrial weathering and organic deposits
- interpreting glacial climate from detrital minerals in sediments
- paleosols of the northern part of North America - their features and significance as indicators of past climates
- cold temperate peats and coals - their sedimentology and composition
- recent cold climate peats of central Canada and permo-carboniferous coals of Gondwana.
