| Description: |
Glacier ice currently occupies approximately 10 per cent of the Earth's surface; during previous glaciations however, it covered three times as much. This atlas summarizes in graphic form our understanding of the former presence of glacier ice on Earth during the last two million years. It is suitable for those with an interest in glaciation. |
| Synopsis: |
Glacier ice currently occupies approximately 10 per cent of the Earth's surface; during previous glaciations however, it covered three times as much. The implications for humans living in formerly glaciated terrains are far reaching; humans, for example, largely take for granted a wide range of glaciation-related phenomena, from groundwater quality to landfilling with domestic waste. The "Atlas of Glaciation" is the first to summarize in graphic form our current understanding of the former presence of glacier ice on Earth during the last two million years. It is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers the nature of the sometimes controversial evidence used to reconstruct former glaciers and ice sheets, using case studies from glaciated terrains. Part 2 presents maps of glaciation - organized by region - at a range of scales. It summarizes a vast literature that has accumulated on the reconstructions of the Quaternary glaciations but which is rarely presented in map form. Using the latest digitised maps and fully referenced throughout, this atlas is essential reading for everyone with an interest in glaciation. |
