| Abstract: | For second- and third-year undergraduates. Aims are to examine global environmental fluctuations of last 2 million years; to analyze evidence used in reconstructing Quaternary environments; and to consider ways in which living organisms have responded to environmental changes. After introduction, chapters deal with prelude to Quaternary; Quaternary glaciations; Quaternary sea-level changes; evidence from oceans; rivers, lakes and groundwater; evidence from deserts; evidence from terrestrial flora and fauna; human origins, innovations and migrations; atmospheric circulation during Quaternary; and environmental changes: past, present and future. Appendix on Quaternary dating methods. |
