About the Book

Antarctic Climate Evolution is the first book dedicated to furthering knowledge on the evolution of the world’s largest ice sheet over its ~34 million year history. This volume provides the latest information on subjects ranging from terrestrial and marine geology to sedimentology and glacier geophysics.

Table of Contents:
Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The International Polar Years: A history of developments in Antarctic Climate Evolution. 3.History of Geological Investigations in Antarctica. 4. Circulation and water masses of the Southern Ocean: a review. 5. Cenozoic climate history from seismic-reflection and drilling studies on the Antarctic continental margin. 6. Numerical modelling of the Antarctic ice sheet. 7. The geological record of Antarctica in the late Neoproterozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Southern Hemisphere. 8. From Greenhouse to Icehouse -The Eocene/Oligocene in Antarctica. 9. Oligocene-Miocene boundary. 10. Middle Miocene to Pliocene History of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. 11. Pleistocene glacial cycles and interval of extreme warmth and cold. 12. Last glacial maximum, deglaciation and the holocene. 13. Trends and Future Perspectives.

About the Author :
Fabio Florindo is the Research Director at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy, as well as an adjunct research fellow and the CNR Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering, Italy and the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. His research interests include paleomagnetism and environmental magnetism with applications to paleoclimate, paleoceanography, geomagnetic field behavior, and tectonics. Since 2000 he has been one of the principal investigators in ANDRILL (ANtarctic geological DRILLing), a multinational initiative to investigate Antarctica's role in Cenozoic-Recent global environmental change through stratigraphic drilling for Antarctic climatic, volcanic and tectonic history. In 2000, he received the National Science Foundation Antarctic Service Medal "in recognition of valuable contributions to exploration and Scientific achievement under the U.S. Antarctic Research Program". He has authored over 175 articles and book chapters. Martin Siegert is the Head of the School of GeoSciences at The University of Edinburgh, which he joined in August 2006. He joined the Bristol Glaciology Centre as a lecturer in January, 1999 and became its Director in 2005. He was a lecturer in the Centre for Glaciology, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, between 1994 and 1998. His research interests include glaciology and quaternary science, the study and exploration of Antarctic subglacial lakes, and Antarctic climate evolution, particularly using geophysical data and modelling to understand past changes to the ice sheet. He has published over 200 articles and book chapters.
