The quaternary sciences constitute a dynamic, multidisciplinary field of
research that has been growing in scientific and societal importance in
recent years. This branch of the Earth sciences links ancient prehistory
to modern environments. Quaternary terrestrial sediments contain the
fossil remains of existing species of flora and fauna, and their
immediate predecessors. Quaternary science plays an integral part in such
important issues for modern society as groundwater resources and
contamination, sea level change, geologic hazards (earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, tsunamis), and soil erosion.<br>
<br>
With over 360 articles and 2,600 pages, many in full-color, the
Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science provides broad ranging, up-to-date
articles on all of the major topics in the field. Written by a team of
leading experts and under the guidance of an international editorial
board, the articles are at a level that allows undergraduate students to
understand the material, while providing active researchers with the
latest information in the field.<br>
