Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2009. xii, 593 p. : ill. (chiefly col.), maps (chiefly col.), 6 folded maps ; 25 cm. Developments in earth & environmental sciences, 1571-9197 ; 8 Includes bibliographical references and index. Antarctic climate evolution -- the international polar years -- a history of Antarctic Cenozoic glaciation -- circulation and water masses of the Southern Ocean -- Cenozoic climate history from seismic-reflection and drilling studies on the Antarctic continental margin -- numerical modelling of the Antarctic ice sheet -- the Antarctic continent in Gondwanaland -- from greenhouse to icehouse -- the Oligocene-Miocene boundary -- middle Miocene to Pliocene history of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean -- late Pliocene-Pleistocene Antarctic climate variability at orbital and suborbital sacle -- Antarctic at the last glacial maximum -- concluding remarks. This is the first book dedicated to the developing knowledge on how the world's largest ice sheet formed and changed over its 34 million years history. In explaining the story of Antartica, information on terrestrial and marine geology, sedimentology, glacier geophysics (including airborne reconnaissance), shipborne geophysics, and numerical ice sheet and climate modelling, will be interwoven within eleven chapters, each deling with an important historical theme. The approach will be to first 'set the scene', involving chapters dedicated to how ice sheets and their glacial history can be measured. This opening section will provide information necessary to comprehend the latter section of the book, in which five chapters will related the glacial and climate evolution of Antartica during the most important time-frames in which changes have occurred.
