Past Glacial Environments, Second Edition, presents a revised and updated version of the very successful first edition of Menzies' book, covering a breadth of topics with a focus on the recognition and analysis of former glacial environments, including the pre-Quaternary glaciations.
The book is made up of chapters written by various geological experts from across the world, with the editor's expertise and experience bringing the chapters together. This new and updated volume includes at least 45% new material, along with five new chapters that include a section on techniques and methods.
Additionally, this new edition is presented in full color and features a large collection of photographs, line diagrams, and tables with examples of glacial environments and landscapes that are drawn from a worldwide perspective.
Informative knowledge boxes and case studies are included, helping users better understand critical issues and ideas. Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
John Menzies is Professor of Earth Sciences and Geography at Brock University, Canada. He obtained degrees from the University of Aberdeen (BSc) and the University of Edinburgh (PhD). His main areas of research and expertise lie in glacial geomorphology and sedimentology with a special interest in the subglacial environment and MSGLs. He has established a micromorphology lab at Brock University and, over the past decades, has developed major research interests in glacial micromorphology/microsedimentology. He is the author of numerous scientific journal papers and of several books including the recent Past Glacial Environments (2018, Elsevier, co-edited with Prof Em. Jaap van der Meer). Prof Menzies has also co-hosted MSc training courses for nine International Workshops for the Micromorphology of Glacial Sediments for PhD students and Postdocs and Faculty.
