Palaeohydrology and Environmental Change

Palaeohydrology is the study of how the composition, distribution and movement of water influenced environmental change in the past. Using case studies from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, this book discusses its contribution in understanding environmental change.
Palaeohydrology and Environmental Change presents the most recent advances in the study of global changes in the hydrological regime during the last 20000 years. The book brings together new contributions; on regional palaeohydrology with case studies from all over the world; and on new methodologies and techniques used on palaeohydrological reconstructions. There are several key points that make this book an essential review to the international scientific community:
* The major emphasis is on areas very sensitive to climate changes such as the Mediterranean, Tundra regions and the Tropical Zones of Asia, Africa and America.
* New interdisciplinary methodologies in reconstructing palaeohydrological changes including palaeoecology, pollen and lichen analysis, identification of anthropogenic stressors and changes in climate circulation regimes.
* Modelling studies; conceptual and mesoscale models for reconstructing palaeoenvironments during the Quaternary.
This book will be a valuable reference work for all professionals and students interested in quaternary environmental, climatic and hydrological history including those in the fields of geology, geography, hydrology, biogeography, archaeology, and environmental sciences.
