Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: Role of Continental Configuration 3: Role of Continental Elevation 4: Role of Epeiric Seas 5: Role of Ocean Gateways 6: Role of Bathymetry 7: Tectonics and CO[2Reviews'This is an interesting, wide-ranging book setting out the state-of-the0art of global climatic modelling of past climates' Geological Magazine [T]he focus of Tectonic Boundary Conditions for Climate Reconstructions, is the use of past tectonic configurations derived from field studies as 'boundary conditions' in climate-model experiments. Model simulations using altered tectonic configurations produce quantitative estimates of climates different from those today, and these can be compared against estimates of past climate derived from independent geologic data. Climatic hypotheses must now pass the more rigorous test of quantitative validation by model simulations. . . . Editorially, grammatically, and overall, this volume is generally high in quality, and most chapters are ambitious attempts to engage some aspect of the complex boundary-condition problem. --Eos<br> Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
