Book Description
Modal climatic patterns for three periods were constructed: late-glacial about 13,000-10,000 years B.P., from 9,000-8,000 years B.P., and early sub-Boreal time about 5,000-3,000 years B.P.

Climate: Present, Past and Future (Routledge Revivals)
Author: H. H. LambPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136639691
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 879
Book Description
First published in 1977, the second volume of Climate: Present, Past and Future covers parts 3 and 4 of Professor Hubert Lamb’s seminal and pioneering study of climatology. Part 3 provides a survey of evidence of types of climates over the last million years, and of methods of dating that evidence. Through the earlier stages of the Earth’s development the book traces what is known of the various geographies presented by the drifting continents and indicates what can be learnt about climatic regimes and the causes of climatic change. From the last ice age to the present our knowledge of the succession of climates is summarized, indicating prevailing temperatures, rainfalls, wind and ocean current patterns where possible. Part 4 considers events during the fifteen years prior to the book’s initial publication, leading on to the problems of estimating the most probable future course of climatic development, and the influence of Man’s activities on climate. Alongside the reissue of volume 1, this Routledge Revival will be essential reading for anyone interested in both the causes and workings of climate and in the history of climatology itself.

The Quality of the Environment
Author: MccamyPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743236335
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This book provides the results of an interdisciplinary seminar from 1967 in which researchers identify and define problems within the environment and present different avenues to correct them. Featuring the research and analysis of professionals in a variety of fields—from physics and engineering to landscape architecture and theater—The Quality of the Environment is a rewriting of a seminar held at the University of Wisconsin in 1967. Through investigation of the major aspects of the environment, including land, air, and water, as well as aesthetic and psychosocial aspects, information is presented on the identification and definition of problems within the environment in the 1960s and some of the first avenues proposed to bring about possible change.
SIPRE Report
Author: Handbook of Terrestrial Heat-Flow Density Determination

ISBN: 9400928475

Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
There comes a time in the affairs of every organization when we have to sit down and take stock of where we are and where we want to go. When the International Heat Flow Committee (as it was first called), IHFC, was formed in 1963 at the San Francisco International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics with Francis Birch as its first Chairman, the principal purpose was to stimulate work in the basic aspects of geothermics, particularly the measurement of terrestrial heat-flow density (HFD) in what were then the 'geothermally underdeveloped' areas of the world. In this, the IHFC was remarkably successful. By the beginning of the second decade of our existence, interest in the economic aspects of geothermics was increasing at a rapid pace and the IHFC served as a conduit for all aspects of geothermics and, moreover, became the group responsi ble for collecting data on all types of HFD measurements. In all the tasks that are undertaken, the IHFC relies on the enthusiasm of its members and colleagues who devote much of their time to the important but unglamorous and personally unrewarding tasks that were asked of them, and we arc fortunate that our parent institutions are usually quite tolerant of the time spent by their employees on IHFC work.
