OverviewThe nature, extent and rate of environmental change is central to understanding earth processes, in particular the evolution of the biosphere. The fossil record provides an enormous amount of data on how living organisms have responded to changing conditions, and can give us important information on the likely effects of events such as global warming. The Global Change and the Biosphere programme is an example of such a research effort. It is jointly conducted by the Natural History Museum and University College London. In this book, which has resulted from this research, each of the chapters discusses how a particular group of organisms has adapted to environmental change since the Cretaceous period, and each chapter is written by a leading international authority.
