The polar regions are also predicted to warm more than any other region on Earth over the next century if greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise. Yet trying to separate natural climate variability from anthropogenic factors still presents many problems. This book presents a thorough review of how the polar climates have changed over the last million years and sets recent changes within a long term perspective. The approach taken is highly cross-disciplinary and the close links between the atmosphere, ocean and ice at high latitudes are stressed. The volume will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students in polar science, climatology, global change, meteorology, oceanography and glaciology. 606 $aClimatic changes$zPolar regions$xHistory 606 $aMeteorology$zPolar regions$vObservations 606 $aClimatic changes$zPolar regions 606 $aSea ice$zPolar regions 606 $aGlobal warming$zPolar regions 615 0$aClimatic changes$xHistory. 615 0$aMeteorology 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aSea ice 615 0$aGlobal warming 676 $a551.6911 686 $aSCI042000$2bisacsh 700 $aTurner$b J$g(John),$01016172 702 $aMarshall$b Gareth 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781963303321 996 $aClimate change in the polar regions$93761544 997 $aUNINA
