Quaternary Deserts and Climatic Change
Author: A.S. Alsharhan
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000150550
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
These proceedings record the results of climate change in many areas which are hyper-arid deserts today but which, almost cyclically, at intervals of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, have had a much more humid climate.

Quaternary Environmental Change in the Tropics
Author: Sarah E. Metcalfe
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118336178
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 826
Book Description
The global climate changes that led to the expansion and contraction of high latitude ice sheets during the Quaternary period were associated with equally dramatic changes in tropical environments. These included shifts in vegetation zones, changes in the hydrology and ecology of lakes and rivers, and fluctuations in the size of mountain glaciers and sandy deserts. Until recently it was thought that such changes were triggered by fluctuations in the distribution of polar ice cover. Now there is increasing recognition that the tropics themselves have acted as drivers of global climate change over a range of timescales. The aim of Quaternary Environmental Change in the Tropics is to provide a synthesis of the changes that occurred in tropical terrestrial and marine systems during the Pleistocene and Holocene, complementing data-derived reconstructions with output from state-of-the-art climate models. It is targeted at final-year undergraduate students and research specialists, but will provide an introduction to tropical Quaternary research for a variety of other readers.

Arabian Deserts
Author: H. Stewart Edgell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402039700
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive survey of all the deserts of Arabia, based largely on the author’s 50 years of experience there. The text deals with every kind of desert in the region, from vast sand seas to clay pans and stony plains to volcanic flows. Along with dune types unique to the region the author outlines climatic changes, current ecology and human influence on desertification.
