Quaternary Glaciations / Четвертичные оледенения

This new edition of Quaternary Glaciations—Extent and Chronology gathers together the evidence of glaciation from around the world in 77 chapters. The book combines all regions of the world into one volume and provides a closer look at the extents, timing, and wider significance of Quaternary glaciations. The main advances reported in this book include better understanding of the timings of glaciations — especially through the application of cosmogenic nuclide analyses—and better understanding of the detailed extent and subdivision of different glaciations. These advances are supported by new digital maps, the detailed production of which is presented below. In addition, this introduction summarises the compilation’s key findings and raises some of the main common themes that are apparent from the glacial records around the world. However, given the large number of excellent contributions, it is not possible to mention each chapter and it is recommended that readers explore the volume and discover for themselves the new findings from specific areas.
The editors would have liked to produce the volume in full colour. Unfortunately, that was not possible. However, this volume contains far more colour illustrations than the previous edition.
