European Glacial Landscapes: The Holocene provides the Holocene history of glaciers and their impact on the landscape in most regions of Europe. The book presents the current state of knowledge on glacial landscapes of Europe and areas nearby over the Holocene to deduce: the influence of atmospheric and oceanic currents and the insolation forcing variability and volcanic activity on Holocene palaeoclimates, the existence of asynchronies in the timing of occurrence of glacier expansion and shrinkage during the Holocene, the time lags between the identification of oceanic and atmospheric changes and those occurring in glacial extension during the Holocene on the other, the role of Holocene glaciers on the climate of Europe and on sea level variability, and the delimitation of landscapes that need special protection to ensure adequate geodiversity and to safeguard unique landscapes for their scientific importance. Students, academics and researchers in Geography, Geology, Environmental Sciences, Physics and Earth Science departments will find European Glacial Landscapes: The Holocene provides novel findings of all the major European Regions in a single publication, with updated information about Holocene glacial geomorphology and palaeo-climatology and clear figures that model the landscapes covered.
