Quaternary Glaciations - Extent and Chronology, Part II: North America / Четвертичные оледенения - масштабы и хронология, Часть II: Северная Америка

"Quaternary Glaciations- Extent and Chronology, Part II: North America", edited by Jtirgen Ehlers and Philip Gibbard is the second volume of three, covering Quaternary glaciations across the Earth. Part I covered Europe, and Part III will cover South America, Asia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. Together these three volumes form the second publication in the Elsevier Book Series on "Developments in Quaternary Science".
This book series, Developments in Quaternary Science is designed to provide an outlet for topics that require substantial space, are linked to major scientific events, require special production facilities (i.e. use of interactive electronic methods), or are archival in character. The subjects covered by the series will consider Quaternary science across different parts of the Earth and with respect to the diverse range of Quaternary processes. The texts will cover the response to processes within the fields of geology, biology, geography, climatology, archaeology and geochronology. Particular consideration will be given to issues such as the Quaternary development of specific regions, comprehensive treatments of specific topics, and compendia on timely topics such as dating methodologies, environmental hazards and rapid climate changes. This series will provide an outlet for scientists who wish to achieve a substantial treatment of major scientific concerns and a venue for those seeking the authority provided by such an approach. <...>
