About the Book

The book presents an up-to-date, detailed overview of the Quaternary glaciations all over the world, not only with regard to stratigraphy but also with regard to major glacial landforms and the extent of the respective ice sheets. The locations of key sites are included. The information is presented in digital, uniformly prepared maps which can be used in a Geographical Information System (GIS) such as ArcView or ArcGIS. The accompanying text supplies the information on how the data were obtained (geomorphology, geological mapping, air photograph evaluation, satellite imagery), how the features were dated (14C, TL, relative stratigraphy) and how reliable they are supposed to be. All references to the underlying basic publications are included. Where controversial interpretations are possible e.g. in Siberia or Tibet, this is pointed out. As a result, the information on Quaternary glaciations worldwide will be much improved and supplied in a uniform digital format.The information on the glacial limits is compiled in digital form by the coordinators of the project, and is available for download at: http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780444534477/

About the Author :
Philip Hughes is Professor of Physical Geography and Head of Department at the University of Manchester. His first degree is in Geography from the University of Exeter followed by a Masters in Quaternary Science, then a PhD in Geography, both at the University of Cambridge (Darwin College). His PhD was on the glacial history of the Pindus Mountains, Greece. This was ollowed by an independent postdoctoral fellowship at Manchester examining the glaciation of Montenegro. He has since worked on glaciation across the Mediterranean mountains and elsewhere. He has utilised U-series dating and cosmogenic nuclides to date glacial landforms. He has also published on global glaciations and stratigraphy in Quaternary science. In 2011 Philip co-edited, with Jürgen Ehlers and Philip Gibbard, the successful Elsevier volume Quaternary Glaciation: Extent and Chronology – A Closer Look, and in 2023 three new Elsevier volumes on European Glacial Landscapes with David Palacios and co-authors.

Review :
"This book is part of a four-volume series (Part 1: Europe CH, Mar'05, 42-4043) reporting the work of an international commission on world glaciation; it summarizes and updates the previous volumes. Following an editors' introduction, 77 chapters discuss Europe, Greenland, western Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey (31 chapters); Canada and the US (18); Mexico through Tierra del Fuego (11); eastern Asia (12); Australia and New Zealand (2); and Africa (3). Improved digital maps are available online. rather than on CD-ROM as in prior volumes. The dating of glacial stages has also improved greatly here. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty."--CHOICE
