This Book Is The Result Of A Workshop Held At The Scott Polar Research Institute Cambridge. The Review Includes The Glacial Geology And Glaciology Of Ice Sheets; Measurement And Significance Of Glaciological Parameters; Temperature Isotopic And Gas Content Profiles; And The Climatic Record From Ice Cores. The Results Presented In This Volume Will Be Of Particular Interest To Glaciologists And Climatologists.
