There have been significant changes in sea level over the past two million years, and a complete understanding of natural cycles of change as well as anthropogenic effects is imperative for future global development. This book reviews the history of research into these sea-level changes and summarises the methods and analytical approaches used to interpret evidence for sea-level changes. It provides an overview of changing climates during the Quaternary, examines processes responsible for global variability of sea-level records, and presents detailed reviews of sea-level changes for the Pleistocene and Holocene. The book concludes by discussing current trends in sea levels and likely future sea-level changes. This is an important and authoritative resource for academic researchers and graduate and advanced undergraduate students working in tectonics, stratigraphy, geomorphology, physical geography, environmental science and other aspects of Quaternary studies.

The Southern Andes, stretching from the subtropics to the subantarctic, are ideally located for palaeoenvironmental research. Over the broad and continuous latitudinal extent of the cordillera (-24˚), vegetation is adjusted to climatic gradients and atmospheric circulation patterns. Opposed to the prevailing Southern Westerlies, the Southern Andes are positioned to receive the brunt of the winds, while biota are set to record the shifting of incoming storm systems over time. Sequential, latitudinally-placed, sedimentary deposits containing microfossils and macroremains, as a

This book, proposed as a companion volume to Professor Holman's Pleistocene Amphibians and Reptiles in North America (1995), presents, in detail, occurences of the herpetofauna in Britain and Western and Central Europe as well as discussions on the paleogeography, paleoecology, and evolution of these groups. The format follows in general that of the volume on North America, starting with an overview of the Pleistocene in Europe followed by a bestiary and chapters on identification of fossils, sites yielding fossils, range adjustments, evolutionary and extinction patterns, and origins of modern herpetofauna in Europe.

Few countries can boast such rich history of Quaternary research as Moravia. This is especially true for findings of fauna, flora, and the prehistoric man. It is mainly due to its location on a natural interface between north and south Europe. Moravia thus served throughout the Quaternary for seasonal and global movement of vegetation and animals. While you can go through the gorges of the Moravian Karst on tarmac roads today, not so long ago there were only narrow winding forest roads where two horse-drawn carriages could barely avoid each other at some places. But what was there before? This book sets out to find the answer. The author wants to show how exciting paleontological work is, what Quaternary studies involve and what previously untapped issues should be addressed in the future.
