Palaeohydrology and Environmental Change presents the most recent
advances in the study of global changes in the hydrological regime
during the last 20000 years. The book brings together new
contributions; on regional palaeohydrology with case studies from
all over the world; and on new methodologies and techniques used on
palaeohydrological reconstructions. There are several key points
that make this book an essential review to the international
scientific community:
* The major emphasis is on areas very sensitive to climate changes such as the Mediterranean, Tundra regions and the Tropical Zones of Asia, Africa and America.
* New interdisciplinary methodologies in reconstructing palaeohydrological changes including palaeoecology, pollen and lichen analysis, identification of anthropogenic stressors and changes in climate circulation regimes.
* Modelling studies; conceptual and mesoscale models for reconstructing palaeoenvironments during the Quaternary.
This book will be a valuable reference work for all professionals and students interested in quaternary environmental, climatic and hydrological history including those in the fields of geology, geography, hydrology, biogeography, archaeology, and environmental sciences.
