European Glacial Landscapes: The Holocene

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.

• Provides a synthesis and summary of glacial processes in Europe over the Holocene period
• Features research from experts in palaeo-climatology, palaeo-oceanography and palaeo-glaciology
• Includes  access to a companion website with an interactive map, photos of  glacial features, and geospatial data related to European Glacial  Landscapes
