Title: Ice-Marginal and Periglacial Processes and Sediments
Series: GSL Special Publications
Author/Editor: Edited by I P Martini, H M French and A Perez-Alberti
Publication Date: 07 June 2011
Description: Like many times in the past, Earth is now experiencing global warming and a period of glacier melting and permafrost thawing. Sedimentary deposits contain a record of what has happened, when and how. Understanding the sediments deposited either by glaciers or other cold-climate processes assumes vital significance to predict what will happen in the near and distant future. The objective of this volume is to critically examine the validity and limitations of the evidences that can be obtained from specific glacial and periglacial settings.

Title: Periglacial and Paraglacial Processes and Environments
Series: GSL Special Publications
Author/Editor: Edited by J Knight and S Harrison
Publication Date: 12 August 2009
Description: Periglacial and paraglacial environments and processes are very sensitive to climate change, but the nature of their responses is still uncertain. Papers in this volume explore the dynamic behaviour of periglacial and paraglacial environments and processes in field studies from Europe, North America and Asia.

Title: The History of the Study of Landforms or the Development of Geomorphology Volume 4: Quaternary and Recent Processes and Forms (1890-1965) and the Mid-Century Revolutions
Series: GSL Miscellaneous Titles
Author/Editor: Edited by T P Burt, R J Chorley, D Brunsden N J Cox and A S Goudie
Publication Date: 05 December 2008
Description: This volume, the fourth in the series, covers the development of the study of geomorphology from 1890 to 1965. It is divided into five sections. After chapters dealing with geological controls, there are three sections dealing with process and form: fluvial, glacial and other process domains. The final section covers the mid-century revolutions, anticipating the onset of quantitative studies and dating techniques. It describes many of the developments that provide the foundation for the rich and varied subject matter of the science of geomorphology today.

This book documents fundamental events in the climate history of the Earth over the past 600 million years, tracking the transitions between greenhouse and icehouse states, and providing detailed models of Late Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic global climate. Papers discuss control mechanisms that forced changes in the Earth’s climate and document the proxies that track them.
