European Glacial Landscapes: The Holocene by David Palacios Paperback Book

Description: European Glacial Landscapes by David Palacios, Philip D. Hughes, Vincent Jomelli, Luis M. Tanarro European Glacial Landscapes: The Holocene presents the current state of knowledge on glacial landscapes of Europe and nearby areas over the Holocene to deduce the influence of atmospheric and oceanic currents and the insolation forcing variability and volcanic activity on Holocene paleoclimates, the existence of asynchronies in the timing of occurrence of glacier expansion and shrinkage during the Holocene, time lags between the identification of oceanic and atmospheric changes and those occurring in glacial extension during the Holocene, the role of Holocene glaciers on the climate of Europe, and on sea level variability, and the delimitation of landscapes that need special protection.Students, academics and researchers in Geography, Geology, Environmental Sciences, Physics and Earth Science departments will find this book provides novel findings of all the major European Regions in a single publication, with updated information about Holocene glacial geomorphology and paleo-climatology and clear figures that model the landscapes covered. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography David Palacios is Full Professor of Physical Geography at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. He has been the coordinator for Spanish National Projects since 1998 to the present, and Spanish coordinator of two European Projects. He has served as founder and director of the High Mountain Physical Geography excellence research group for 12 years, and has authored over 200 international research papers, 100 chapters, and has edited five books. Philip Hughes is Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom. He obtained his first degree in geography at the University of Exeter. This was followed by a Masters degree in Quaternary Science, then a PhD in Geography, both at the University of Cambridge (Darwin College). His PhD was on the glacial history of the Pindus Mountains, Greece. This was then followed by a postdoctoral project examining the glacial history of Montenegro at the University of Manchester. He has since worked on glaciation across the Mediterranean mountains and in the British Isles. In this research he has utilised U-series dating and cosmogenic nuclides to date glacial landforms. He has also published on global glaciations and stratigraphy in Quaternary science and in 2011 Philip also co-edited, with JÜrgen Ehlers and Philip Gibbard, the highly successful Elsevier volume Quaternary Glaciation: Extent and Chronology – A Closer Look. Dr. Vincent Jomelli is a director of research at Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and a geomorphologist who works at CEREGE at the University of Aix-Marseille France. He has worked on natural hazards and palaeoglacial studies conducted in different alpine regions in Europe, Asia and in the southern hemisphere. In this research he has utilised cosmogenic nuclides to date glacial landforms and he has published on global glacier variations during the Holocene published in Quaternary science reviews. He has written several papers on Holocene glacier fluctuations in the Pyrenees, the French Alps, the tropical Andes, Greenland, Caucasus, and Kerguelen. He has also been involved in scientific papers on contemporary glaciology and mass balance of glaciers in Nepal, tropical Andes, Kerguelen and Antarctica. Dr. Luis M. Tanarro is Professor of Physical Geography at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). His PhD was on the application of computer-aided design (CAD) and geographic information system (GIS) to high detailed geomorphological mapping. His main research is focused on the monitoring geomorphological processes in mountains and on the development and design of geomorphological cartography with CAD and SIG techniques. He is Principal investigator of over 16 research projects, in which he has responsibility for the geo-visualisation of the cartography in accordance with the application of the latest methodologies and technologies. He has published nearly 100 research papers on the dynamics of deglaciation in mountains, on monitoring of geomorphological processes and its impact on geodiversity. In addition to the Iberian mountains, he has conducted research in Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and Iceland, which has given her a broad understanding of land surface processes in cold climate environments.
