Earth's Climate Past and Future
Oceanography and Marine Biology An Introduction to Marine Science
3rd edition
David W. Townsend, University of Maine, USA
William F. Ruddiman, University of Virginia, USA W. H. Freeman and Company - A Macmillan Higher Education Company
Motivated by advances in the field of climate science, this new edition uses a multidisciplinary perspective to address new evidence for anthropogenically driven global warming and explores important new advances in understanding past climates and the climatic responses of Earth’s major systems as they have developed through the planet’s history. The book follows Earth’s timeline to help students understand how the planet has changed from the earliest known climates all the way through to expected modern and future changes. Ruddiman draws on many fields – including geology, ecology, oceanography, atmospheric chemistry and more – to develop a multidisciplinary approach. At the start of each chapter, evidence of past climatic changes is summarised; the chapters then describe and evaluate the hypotheses proposed to explain the observations in a way designed to develop students’ problem-solving skills.
