دانلود کتاب Global continental changes: the context of palaeohydrology

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

Palaeohydrology is the study of changes in the waters of the Earth prior to continuous monitoring. Knowledge of these changes is important for the understanding of past and present environmental changes and of the form of the present-day environment. The evolution of the hydrological cycle in response to climatic change produces a chain of environmental and human consequences - factors that are becoming more relevant as climate change is predicted. Evidence of past environmental changes may be used to validate models with which to predict future change - thus the study of rates, mechanisms and processes of Late Quaternary hydrological changes is of critical importance. This volume is designed for all who are interested in the hydrological impacts of climatic change and the contribution that palaeohydrology can make to the study of these changes. It details recent achievements in this important field, and provides for prioritizing and guiding future studies. Details recent advances in palaeohydrological research. Case studies from a wide variety of climatic and physical regions. Describes a wide variety of techniques. Discusses the future for palaeohydrological research.
