This important volume reviews the status of investigations aimed at
deciphering the geologic, biogeographic, and archaeological records
for the Quaternary Era--the last million years of geologic time-for
the area of continental United States. Over eighty Quaternary
scientists have contributed to the fifty-five chapters divided into
four main parts. Part 1 treats the areal geology, with emphasis on
the stratigraphy of the glaciated areas east of the Rocky
Mountains, unglaciated eastern and central United States, and
western United States. Part 2 deals with biogeography:
phytogeography and palynology, animal geography and evolution. Part
3 deals with archaeology prehistory in the northeastern states,
southeastern states, plains, desert west, and Pacific Coast
including Alaska. Part 4 covers many diverse Quaternary studies
on--the continental shelves, isotope geochemistry, paleopedology,
the geochemistry of some lake sediments, paleohydrology, glaciers
and climate, volcanic-ash chronology, paleomagnetism,
neo-tectonics, dendrochronology, and theoretical paleoclimatology.
