The research includes their doctoral thesis and many published scientific papers related to the island. The book is divided into two principal parts. The first part covers different social and natural aspects of this remote island and includes chapters on the scientific and historical background, physiography with topographical and hydrographical descriptions, climate and oceanographic circulation, vegetation and geology (including stratigraphy, structural geology and geological history). The second part comprises a reconstruction of the paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic and paleogeographic history of the island from the Last Glacial Maximum to the present, correlating with other paleoecological records from the southern part of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia. This second part also includes a geomorphological chapter with a characterization of the principal erosive glacial landforms on Isla de los Estados constructed by means of morphometric analysis, inventories, maps, paleogeographic and glacial models, and a paleoecological chapter evaluating the palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimatic conditions that prevailed during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene times based on pollen and diatom analysis from three 14C-dated peat bogs and lakes. Finally, the book concludes with a review of the island’s archaeology and the relationship between the palaeoenvironmental history and human occupation of this island.SpringerBriefs in earth system sciences.South America and the Southern hemisphere.PaleogeographyGeomorphologyClimatic changesHuman ecologyHistoryIsla de los Estados (Argentina)HistoryIsla de los Estados (Argentina)ClimatePaleogeography.Geomorphology.Climatic changes.Human ecologyHistory.560.45098276Ponce Juan Federico1058771Fernandez Marilen1761379MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298386303321Climatic and environmental history of Isla de los Estados, Argentina4200800UNINA
