The Climatic Record in Polar Ice Sheets

This multi-author work reviews our current knowledge of the isotopic and temperature profiles of polar ice sheets. The polar ice sheets contain a wonderfully detailed record of the atmospheric history of the Earth that extends back for hundreds of thousands of years. The review includes the glacial geology and glaciology of ice sheets; measurement and significance of glaciological parameters; temperature, isotopic and gas content profiles; and the climatic record from ice cores. The results presented in this volume will be of particular interest to glaciologists and climatologists.Robin, Gordon De Q. is the author of 'The Climatic Record in Polar Ice Sheets', published 1983 under ISBN 9780521250870 and ISBN 0521250870.
