ResultsThe book presents an up-to-date, detailed overview of the Quaternary glaciations all over the world, not only with regard to stratigraphy but also with regard to major glacial landforms and the extent of the respective ice sheets. The locations of key sites are included. The information is presented in digital, uniformly prepared maps which can be used in a Geographical Information System (GIS) such as ArcView or ArcGIS. The accompanying text supplies the information on how the data were obtained (geomorphology, geological mapping, air photograph evaluation, satellite imagery), how the featDevelopments in Quaternary science ;15.Geology, StratigraphicQuaternaryPaleoclimatologyQuaternaryGlacial landformsGeology, StratigraphicPaleoclimatologyGlacial landforms.551.79Ehlers Jürgen1948-1678308Gibbard Philip L(Philip Leonard),1949-1539713Hughes Philip D52809MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814578903321Quaternary glaciations4045837UNINA
