The most up-to-date and comprehensive book on ice age geology
The Ice Age refers to periods in the history of the Earth during which at least one polar region was glaciated or covered by sea ice. We are therefore currently living in an Ice Age. The current Ice Age is also the period in which humans are intervening in the shaping of the Earth. Everyone can see for themselves what changes this is bringing about. Air and satellite images show the melting of glaciers, the decay of the Arctic permafrost and the clearing of the Brazilian rainforest. The evaluation of precise survey data provides insights into the natural landscape that could not previously be gained from aerial or satellite images or from field surveys. All relevant data is freely available; this book describes how to obtain it.
The author, Dr. Jürgen Ehlers, is a geoscientist who has carried out research projects in Germany and abroad.
