A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The sequence of sediments deposited in lakes forms an archive of a high-resolution record of the changes and rates of changes in continental palaeoenvironments. Global Geological Record of Lake Basins is the first in a short series of books containing concise geological summaries of lake basin deposits. Geoscientists worldwide have co-operated to bring together the information available on a global spectrum of lacustrine deposits - looking in particular at palaeoenvironmental aspects. The compilation has resulted from IGCP 219 - Comparative Lacustrine Sedimentology in Space and Time - which has given impetus to the field of limnogeology. Lacustrine deposits are widespread throughout the geological record, and this series of books will assess, for every geological time window, key lacustrine sequences worldwide in the form of short summaries of specific deposits. A common language will be defined to describe these deposits.

Revue de presse

'... this is an excellent book, which will be of great value to all those involved in studying lacustrine deposits, continental basins and palaeoclimates, either in academia or industry.' Earth Science Reviews

'The papers all include high quality maps and figures. This makes a very good book for browsing.' Earth Science Reviews

'... the amount of information in the book and its great reference value as a source of syntheses and as a key to scattered literature make it good value for money.' Earth Science Reviews
