Ice Ages and Interglacials: Measurements, Interpretation and Models by Donald RappEnglish | PDF | 2009 | 275 Pages | ISBN : 3642100511 | 10.1 MB
Ice ages represent perhaps the most dramatic example of extreme climate change on the Earth. Understanding how and why ice ages occur is of great importance in our wider understanding of the global climate system and how it might change. If one examines Greenland ice data for the past 100,000 years, it becomes very clear that the relatively warm period of the past 11,000 years stand out in striking contrast to the 90,000 years of extreme cold that preceded it.
