This came to provide a firm background for today's knowledge of the significance and importance of climatic change. Interdisciplinary research has been a prominent, if not essential, contributor to the successes achieved. In illustration of this connection, this volume describes here such developments in the University of Cambridge. In 1948 the University established a Subdepartment of Quaternary Research, with teaching and research 606 $aPaleobotany$yQuaternary 606 $aGeology, Stratigraphic$yQuaternary 606 $aPaleontology$yQuaternary 606 $aPaleoclimatology$yQuaternary 606 $aArchaeological geology$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aGeology$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aGeology$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aArchaeology$zEngland$zFens, The 615 0$aPaleobotany 615 0$aGeology, Stratigraphic 615 0$aPaleontology 615 0$aPaleoclimatology 615 0$aArchaeological geology$xHistory. 615 0$aGeology$xHistory. 615 0$aGeology$xHistory. 615 0$aArchaeology 676 $a551.7/9 700 $aWest$b Richard$0566349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788004703321 996 $aQuaternary research in Britain and Ireland$93859412 997 $aUNINA
