About the Book:
Concerns about the effects of global climate change have focused
attention on the vulnerability of circumpolar regions. Long-term
historical data are needed to better understand the magnitude and
direction of environmental change related to both natural and
anthropogenic causes, as well as to assess patterns of natural
variability. The paucity of instrumental data requires that proxy
methods be used. The abundance of lakes throughout the Arctic and
Antarctic makes paleolimnological approaches especially powerful tools
to assist interpretations of environmental change.
This book provides a synthesis of the broad spectrum of techniques
available for generating long-term environmental records from
circumpolar lakes. It also provides overviews of the geographic extent
of paleolimnological work completed thus far in these regions. It
explores the diverse ways in which paleolimnology is used to address the
pressing and emerging environmental issues of high-latitude regions. By
providing both an introduction and in-depth reviews, this volume is of
interest to students and advanced researchers alike who are studying
earth, atmospheric, and environmental sciences.
