DESCRIPTION:
biology, ecology, climatology) working in modern fjord and estuarine environments. The book is also a valuable source of information for all the scientists engaged in climate and environmental palaeorecords. Many of the contributions to the book will be of interest for geologists and researchers in other disciplines (e.g. The combination of good review articles and high-quality multi-approach original studies makes the book useful, not only for active scientists but also for advanced students. Despite several reviews, the book is not a
Fjords are glacially over-deepened, semi-enclosed marine basins, but are often neglected as a sedimentary realm. Typically most fjords have been glaciated a number of times and some high-latitude fjords still possess a resident glacier. The stratigraphic record in fjords largely preserves a glacialdeglacial cycle of deposition. The Geological Society of LondonFounded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geological society in the world, and one of the largest publishers in the Earth sciences.The Society publishes a wide range of high-quality peer-reviewed titles for academics and professionals working in the geosciences, and enjoys an enviable international reputation for the quality of its work.The many areas in which we publish in include:-Petroleum geology-Tectonics, structural geology and geodynamics-Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleontology-Volcanology, magmatic studies and geochemistry-Remote sensing-History of geology-Regional geology guides. Sheltered water and high sedimentation rates potentially make fjords ideal depositional environments for preserving continuous records of climate and environmental change with high temporal resolution. With predictions of warming climates, changing ocean circulation and rising sea levels, this volume is a timely look at these environmentally sensitive coastlines. They represe
