Product Description
This book contains selected contributions from the geoENV96 -- First
European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications,
held in Lisbon in November 1996. This is the first of a geoENV series of
biennial planned books. The series is intended to show the state of the
art of geostatistics in environmental applications with new cases,
results and relevant discussions from leading researchers and
practitioners around the world. New and important theoretical and
practical developments of geostatistics in the environmental field were
compiled from three main areas: i. Hydrology, Groundwater and
Groundwater Contamination ii. Soil Contamination and Site Remediation
iii. Air Pollution, Ecology and Other Applications The book presents a
set of geostatistical tools and approaches used to successfully resolve a
variety of specific problems in environment modelling, especially those
resulting from the typical scarcity of spatial sampling, the time
component of very dynamic systems, the modelling of various systems of
contaminants, the uncertainty assessment of health cost functions, etc.
Prominent topics concerning methodological tools and methods, stochastic
simulation techniques, models of integrating soft information (seismic
and remote sensing images), inverse modelling of groundwater flow,
neural network classification, change of support and up-scaling are also
included in this book. This publication will be of great interest and
practical value to geostatisticians working both in universities and in
industry.

Proxies in Late Cenozoic Paleoceanography

Book Description
An up-to-date account of the methodologies used for the measurement and
interpretation of tracers and proxies in deep sea sediments

Product Description
The present volume is the first in a series of two books dedicated to
the paleoceanography of the Late Cenozoic ocean. The need for an updated
synthesis on paleoceanographic science is urgent, owing to the huge and
very diversified progress made in this domain during the last decade.
In addition, no comprehensive monography still exists in this domain.
This is quite incomprehensible in view of the contribution of
paleoceanographic research to our present understanding of the dynamics
of the climate-ocean system. The focus on the Late Cenozoic ocean
responds to two constraints. Firstly, most quantitative methods, notably
those based on micropaleontological approaches, cannot be used back in
time beyond a few million years at most. Secondly, the last few million
years, with their strong climate oscillations, show specific high
frequency changes of the ocean with a relatively reduced influcence of
tectonics. The first volume addresses quantitative methodologies to
reconstruct the dynamics of the ocean andthe second, major aspects of
the ocean system (thermohaline circulation, carbon cycle, productivity,
sea level etc.) and will also present regional synthesis about the
paleoceanography of major the oceanic basins. In both cases, the focus
is the "open ocean" leaving aside nearshore processes that depend too
much onlocal conditions. In this first volume, we have gathered
up-to-date methodologies for the measurement and quantitative
interpretation of tracers and proxies in deep sea sediments that allow
reconstruction of a few key past-properties of the ocean( temperature,
salinity, sea-ice cover, seasonal gradients, pH, ventilation, oceanic
currents, thermohaline circulation, and paleoproductivity). Chapters
encompass physical methods (conventional grain-size studies,
tomodensitometry, magnetic and mineralogical properties), most current
biological proxies (planktic and benthic foraminifers, deep sea corals,
diatoms, coccoliths, dinocysts and biomarkers) and key geochemical
tracers (trace elements, stable isotopes, radiogenic isotopes, and
U-series). Contributors to the book and members of the review panel are
among the best scientists in their specialty. They represent major
European and North American laboratories and thus provide a priori
guarantees to the quality and updat of the entire book. Scientists and
graduate students in paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, climate
modeling, and undergraduate and graduate students in marine geology
represent the target audience. This volume should be of interest for
scientists involved in several international programs, such as those
linked to the IPCC (IODP - Integrated Ocean Drilling Program; PAGES -
Past Global Changes; IMAGES - Marine Global Changes; PMIP: Paleoclimate
Intercomparison Project; several IGCP projects etc.), That is, all
programs that require access to time series illustrating changes in the
climate-ocean system.

* Presents updated techniques and methods in paleoceanography
* Reviews the state-of-the-art interpretation of proxies used for quantitative reconstruction of the climate-ocean system
* Acts as a supplement for undergraduate and graduate courses in paleoceanography and marine geology
