First published in 1999, Quaternary Climates, Environments and Magnetism presents an account of the rich variety of uses of magnetic measurements in the environmental geosciences. Ten chapters by leading world authorities describe the highlights of environmental magnetic work during the last decade and identify directions for future research. Emphasis is placed on a multidisciplinary approach to achieve a more thorough understanding of the environmental processes involved. This volume will be of interest to research scientists from a wide range of disciplines working on Quaternary environments, including earth and environmental sciences, physical geology, geography and palaeoclimatology. It will also be valuable as a supplementary text for graduates and advanced undergraduates. 517 3 $aQuaternary Climates, Environments & Magnetism 606 $aPaleomagnetism$yQuaternary 606 $aPaleoclimatology$yQuaternary 606 $aPaleoecology$yQuaternary 615 0$aPaleomagnetism 615 0$aPaleoclimatology 615 0$aPaleoecology 676 $a538/.727 702 $aMaher$b Barbara A$g(Barbara Ann),$f1960- 702 $aThompson$b Roy$f1948 August 23- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450087403321 996 $aQuaternary climates, environments, and magnetism$92441745 997 $aUNINA
