Compare Tectonic Boundary Conditions for Climate Reconstructions by Thomas J. Crowley, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

In recent years there has been a movement to break down old disciplinary boundaries in the geosciences to develop a more unified view of the earth as an integrated system, but efforts to integrate solid earth and climate studies have not progressed as rapidly as other areas. Responding to thisdeficiency, this volume provides an in-depth examination of climate modeling-an area which can benefit enormously from the interaction between solid earth geophysical studies and climate studies. Written by eminent figures from both disciplines, this volume focuses on the role of tectonic boundaryconditions for paleoclimate reconstructions. Chapters present background material on the impact of tectonic changes on climate, as well as the uncertainties in tectonic boundary conditions, such as positions of continents, height of mountains, depth of sea floor, among others. | Tectonic Boundary Conditions for Climate Reconstructions by Thomas J.
