European Glacial Landscapes: The Last Deglaciation de David Palacios

European Glacial Landscapes: The Last Deglaciation

Editat de David Palacios, Philip D. Hughes, Jose M. Garcia-Ruiz, Nuria de Andrés
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2022
European Glacial Landscapes: Last Deglaciation brings together relevant experts on the history of glaciers and their impact on the landscape of the main European regions. Soon after the Last Glacial Maximum, a rapid process of the glacial retreat began throughout Europe. This was interrupted several times by abrupt climate cooling, which caused rapid, although moderate, re-advance of the glaciers, until the beginning of the Holocene when the climate became relatively stable and warm. These successive glacial advances and retreats during the Last Deglaciation have shaped much of the European landscape, reflecting abrupt climatic fluctuations.
As our knowledge of abrupt climate changes since the Last Glacial Maximum progresses, new uncertainties arise. These are critical for understanding how climate changes disseminate through Europe, such as the lag between climate changes and the expansion or contraction of glaciers as well as the role of the large continental ice sheets on the European climate. All these contributions are included in the book, which is an invaluable resource for geographers, geologists, environmental scientists, paleoclimatologists, as well as researchers in physics and earth sciences. 


  • Provides a synthesis that highlights the main similarities or differences, through both space and time, during the Last Deglaciation of Europe
  • Features research from experts in quaternary, geomorphology, palaeoclimatology, palaeoceanography and palaeoglaciology on the Last Deglaciation in Europe during Termination 1 and the important Late Pleistocene-Holocene transition
  • Includes detailed colour figures and maps, providing a comprehensive overview of the glacial landscapes of Europe during the last deglaciation

Recenzii

"Where to start? How to begin? This is the eternal problem that every person interested in learning a new subject must face, from young students to senior researchers. In a subject such as European glaciation, where a vast amount of knowledge has been produced over two centuries, this question is particularly relevant. In “European Glacial Landscapes: Maximum extent of glaciations”, editors D. Palacios, P.D. Hugues, J.M. García-Ruiz and N. Andrés, put together a continental scale synthesis of the state of the art knowledge on the distribution, chronology and significance of landforms created during past glaciations across Europe. Through a series of concise and well-written articles, more than 60 contributing authors summarize the climatic context, scientific questions, and advances of the current understanding of the glacial landscapes of Europe.
The book is divided into six parts or sections. Part I provides a great introduction to the various topics (both practical and theorical) discussed in the book. Part II presents the geographical characteristics and the relevance of the different regions discussed in the book. Part III is devoted to describing the current state of knowledge on the evolution of climate and ocean dynamics during the Last Glacial Cycle. Parts IV and V focus on describing and analyzing the glacial landforms/landscapes developed before and during the Last Glacial Maximum (29 – 19 ka), respectively.  Finally, in Part VI, the authors synthesize the previous parts, by highlighting the importance of the European glacial landscapes in the context of great climatic variability.
This compilation represents a monumental effort to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the ice masses that once covered Europe and set the basis to dive into more detailed literature regarding the glacial history of particular regions within the continent. To this end, each chapter suggests a list of key references that the reader should consult to address specific questions related to the subject. This volume is extensively illustrated with detailed figures and standardized maps (with common symbols and colour ramps for the topographic bases), which facilitate our understanding of the glacier histories across the continent. Finally, the ages presented in this book were recalibrated (radiocarbon ages) and recalculated (cosmogenic surface exposure dating) using the most up to date procedures, which permit a direct comparison between key European sites and other formerly glaciated regions around the globe, under a unified chronological framework.
We are delighted to learn that this volume is only the first part of a larger effort. The editors have promised to compile a second volume with a synthesis of the glacial landforms formed during the last deglaciation (~19 – 12 ka). We look forward to seeing the results of this new enterprise, and thus to continuing to expand our knowledge on middle latitude glaciations and exploring profound questions as to the interhemispheric teleconnections between boreal and austral glaciers and climates" --Esteban A.
