Описание: Paleoclimatology is the field of study that aims to analyze the climate of the geologic past and climatic variability on earth. Some of the significant topics covered in this book are geological time scale, biogeochemistry, oceanography, remote sensing and measurement techniques to understand the climate of past, etc. The researches and case studies encompassed in this book are aimed at understanding past climate and climate changes in context of present and future climatic variability. This book will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this field.

Описание: Climatology is the scientific study of weather conditions and patterns with respect to a period of time whereas paleoclimatology focuses on changes in the Earth's climate. Climatology and paleoclimatology play a crucial role in climate modeling and predicting the climate of the future. This book on climatology and paleoclimatology discusses the various climate models that have evolved over time. This text elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to climatology and paleoclimatology. It will be of great help to those researching in the fields of historical climatology, environmental design and meteorology. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.

Life on our planet depends upon having a climate that changes within narrow limits - not too hot for the oceans to boil away nor too cold for the planet to freeze over. Over the past billion years Earth's average temperature has stayed close to 14-15 C, oscillating between warm greenhouse states and cold icehouse states. We live with variation, but a variation with limits. Paleoclimatology is the science of understanding and explaining those variations, those limits, and the forces that control them. Without that understanding we will not be able to foresee future change accurately as our population grows. Our impact on the planet is now equal to a geological force, such that many geologists now see us as living in a new geological era - the Anthropocene.
Paleoclimatology describes Earth's passage through the greenhouse and icehouse worlds of the past 800 million years, including the glaciations of Snowball Earth in a world that was then free of land plants. It describes the operation of the Earth's thermostat, which keeps the planet fit for life, and its control by interactions between greenhouse gases, land plants, chemical weathering, continental motions, volcanic activity, orbital change and solar variability. It explains how we arrived at our current understanding of the climate system, by reviewing the contributions of scientists since the mid-1700s, showing how their ideas were modified as science progressed. And it includes reflections based on the author's involvement in palaeoclimatic research.
The book will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about future climate change. It will be an invaluable course reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students in geology, climatology, oceanography and the history of science.
"A real tour-de-force An outstanding summary not only of the science and what needs to be done, but also the challenges that are a consequence of psychological and cultural baggage that threatens not only the survival of our own species but the many others we are eliminating as well."
Peter Barrett
Emeritus Professor of Geology, Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
"What a remarkable and wonderful synthesis... it will be a wonderful source of paleoclimate] information and insights."
