About this title

Synopsis

Six contributions from researchers discuss current geochemical approaches to reconstructing climate in both marine and terrestrial settings during the Cenozoic era. Included are descriptions of a number of theoretical and practical frameworks for analyzing and interpreting isotopic and elemental signals across a range of substrates. The volume (which lacks an index) contains papers originally presented at the 2001 annual meeting of the Geological Society of America. Editors Mora and Surge teach geological sciences at Iowa State U. and the U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, respectively. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
