Description: 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.
