Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The book discusses the ideas and creates a framework for building toward a theory of paleoclimate. Using the rich and mounting array of observational evidence of climatic changes from geology, geochemistry, and paleontology, Saltzman offers a dynamical approach to the theory of paleoclimate evolution and an expanded theory of climate.

Saltzman was a distinquished authority on dynamical meteorology. This book provides a comprehensive framework based on dynamical system ideas for a theory of climate and paleoclimatic evolution which is intended for graduate students and research workers in paleoclimatology, earth system studies, and global change research. The book includes an extensive bibliography of geological and physical/dynamical references.

About the Author

Barry Saltzman was a professor of geology and geophysics at Yale University and a pioneer in the theory of weather and climate. A Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the AAAS, Saltzman received the 1998 Carl Gustaf Rossby Research Medal, the highest award from the AMS, for his research on how ice sheets, atmospheric winds, ocean currents, carbon dioxide concentration, and other factors work together, causing the climate to oscillate in a 100,000-year cycle.
