Product Description
Focuses on ice sheet/ocean interactions, on oceanic climate change during the last deglaciation period and on the high temporal resolution that can be obtained from sediment records at continental margin sites. Includes papers from the northeastern North American continental margin, East Greenland margin, the margins of northwest Europe, the northwest European Arctic and the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Many of the papers present high-resolution stratigraphic data, supported by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dates, which demonstrate the advantages of continental margin records in resolving the palaeoceanography of the North Atlantic Ocean and in regional reconstructions of climate change.

Product Description
The majority of research presented in this volume arises from the Land-Ocean Evolution Perspecitve Study (LOEPS), which was one component of the Land-Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS - funded by the Natural Environment Research Council).The main aim of LOEPS was to describe the evolution of coastal systems from the Holocene to the Present, in response to changes in relative sea level and the impact of human activities.A key element in the success of LOEPS has been the integration and interaction between the various elements of the research programme. The papers published here reflect this integration rather than summarizing the results of individual research projects or the achievement of a single LOEPS objective.

The contributions fall into four sections: techniques; Humber catchment; other areas within the studied region; regional scale analysis.

Product Description

Marine environmental conditions such as storms, storm surges and wave heights are directly experienced by, for example, off-shore operations or coastal populations. The authors review and bring together the state-of-the-art and present day knowledge about historical changes, recent trends and concepts on how marine environmental conditions may change in the future as well as discuss models and data problems.

Product Description
This book is devoted to the quantitative physical modeling ofsubduction and subduction-related processes. It presents a coherentdescription of the modeling method (including similarity criteria, anda novel applied experimental technique), results from modelexperiments, theoretical analysis of results on the basis of continuummechanics, and their geodynamic interpretation. Subduction is modeledin general as well as applied to particular regions using both 2-D and3-D approaches, with both slab-push and slab-pull driving forces. Themodeling covers all stages from subduction initiation to `death',different regimes of subduction producing back arc extension andcompression, blocking of subduction and jumps of subduction zone,arc-continent collision and continental subduction. This work is for geologists and geophysicists interested ingeodynamics of the convergent plate boundaries and in mechanics of thelithosphere. ... Read more

Product Description
Over the last 25 years considerable information on the geomorphological evolution of the world's largest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef, has become available. This book reviews the history of geomorphological studies of the Great Barrier Reef and assesses the influences of sea-level change and oceanographic processes on the development of reefs over the last 10,000 years. It presents analyses of recently attained data from the Great Barrier Reef and reconstructions of the sequence of events which have led to its current geomorphology. The authors emphasise the importance of the geomorphological time span and its applications for present management applications. This is a valuable reference for academic researchers in geomorphology and oceanography, and will also appeal to graduate students in related fields. ... Read more

Product Description
This book makes the common techniques of paleomagnetism understandable to students of geology and explains how paleomagnetism is used to map the movement of major portions of the Earth's surface through time.It contains an extensive catalog of paleomagnetic results, which is used to describe and analyze paleogeography and tectonic movements and to place them in the context of prevailing hypotheses.A critical assessment of the data base in terms of quality and reliability is also made, and geographically, the entire Phanerozoic world except for the Pacific Ocean (and its rims) is covered. This book is unique for being results-based and for containing a paleopole catalog. ... Read more

Product Description
In order to undertand the current state of the oceans, researchers turn to the origins of our global waters in the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, from 590 million years ago to the present. Sea-level change is a prevailing topic in view of drastic climate shifts, and the greenhouse effect, which causes sea-level change by diminishing or increasing world glacier mass.The world's major scholar in the field, Anthony Hallam brings his expertise to the subject of sea-level change in the Phanerozoic Eon in the first book exclusively devoted to the subject. An appendix on widely used pre-Quarternary stratigraphic stage terms and extensive references are included. ... Read more

Product Description
This is a description of deep-marine sedimentary environments which aims to summarize the information that has been acquired since 1970, particularly as a result of international oceangraphic research through the Ocean Drilling Programme. The text integrates detailed process-based sedimentology, depositional environments and large-scale plate-tectonic controls of deep-marine sediments from both modern and ancient settings. The work is divided into three parts. The first part provides a physical basis for transport and deposition of sediments in the deep oceans, followed by a facies classification scheme with examples and a survey of the main controls on deep-sea sedimentation. The second part is devoted to discussions of the main depositional systems in which siliciclastic sediments accumulate in the oceans, illustrated by both modern and ancient case studies to show the range of variability within depositional systems. The final part focuses on deep-marine sediments at passive, convergent and oblique-slip continental margins and plate boundaries, again illustrated with case studies based in part on DSDP results and marine seismic reflection profiles. ...

Expanding Earth Reference
I was quite amazed that this author wrote fairly about the expanding earth hypothesis.Normally authors treat it as a passing fancy and bad science.I bought the book specifically for insight into this area and there are a dozen or more pages dedicated to this area.Congrats to the author for an "unbiased" view of expanding earth which in my opinion is absolutely correct.
