The Encyclopedia of Paleoclimatology and Ancient Environments, a companion volume to the recently-published Encyclopedia of World Climatology, provides the reader with an entry point to the rapidly expanding field of paleoclimatology. Highly interdisciplinary, paleoclimatology integrates information from a broad array of disciplines in the geosciences, spanning across stratigraphy, geomorphology, glaciology, paleoecology, paleobotany, isotope geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics, among others. The encyclopedia covers the entire span of the Earth's climate history from the early Precambrian to the Little Ice Age, and also offers an interplanetary comparison with the contrasting climates of Mars and Venus in 230 informative articles written by over 200 well known international experts.
