This book aims to encapsulate some of these recent advances and focuses on the integration of research that has been conducted by geomorphologists and climatologists on linking climate and land surface changes. This book is divided into two main parts: Section A incorporates research that has concentrated on short-term variations in climate, whilst Section B looks at some of the work on long-term climate variability. The volume concludes with a summary chapter that brings together the various ideas that have been presented in this work and other recent research in this general field. This text will be of interest to upper level students of geomorphology, Quaternary studies, climatology, earth sciences, and environmental studies. It will also be of use to researchers in these fields.Advances in Global Change Research,2215-1621 ;6GeologyEcologyAtmospheric scienceGeologyEnvironmental SciencesAtmospheric ScienceGeology.Ecology.Atmospheric science.Geology.Environmental Sciences.Atmospheric Science.551.6HIS000000bisacshMcLaren Sue J848435Kniveton Dominic R1824930MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956345903321Linking climate change to land surface change4392347UNINA
