The Quaternary Ice Age presents an overview of the present knowledge on environmental change as seen in the history of the quaternary ice age of the Alps. Its main theme is a description of the stratigraphic record produced by fundamental changes in the environment through multiple cycles of glacier advance and retreat.




A timely contribution to the global climate change discussion
Assembles the immense amount of quaternary Alpine research into one volume
Shows the global distribution of climatic fluctuations during the ice age

Epoca de gheata cuaternara prezinta o imagine de ansamblu asupra cunostintelor actuale despre schimbarile de mediu, asa cum se vede in istoria epocii de gheata cuaternare din Alpi. Tema sa principala este o descriere a inregistrarii stratigrafice produse de schimbarile fundamentale din mediu prin cicluri multiple de avansare si retragere a ghetarilor. O contributie in timp util la discutia globala privind schimbarile climatice Asambleaza cantitatea imensa de cercetare alpina cuaternara intr-un singur volum Arata distributia globala a fluctuatii in timpul erei glaciare
