The polar regions have experienced some remarkable environmental
changes in recent decades, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, the
loss of large amounts of sea ice from the Arctic Ocean and major
warming on the Antarctic Peninsula. The polar regions are also
predicted to warm more than any other region on Earth over the next
century if greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise. Yet
trying to separate natural climate variability from anthropogenic
factors still presents many problems. This book presents a thorough
review of how the polar climates have changed over the last million
years and sets recent changes within a long term perspective. The
approach taken is highly cross-disciplinary and the close links
between the atmosphere, ocean and ice at high latitudes are
stressed. The volume will be invaluable for researchers and
advanced students in polar science, climatology, global change,
meteorology, oceanography and glaciology.
