Fifty million years ago, the Arctic Ocean was a warm sea, bounded
by lush vegetation of the warm-temperate shores of Scandinavia,
Siberia, Alaska and the Northwest Territories. Wind and storms were
rare because Atlantic weather systems had not developed but, as
today, polar day length added a hostile element to this otherwise
tranquil climate.
With the aid of scientists from all the countries close to the
Arctic Circle, this book describes the palaeontology, the
statistical analysis of vegetational features, comparisons with
atmospheric, marine, and geological features and some of the first
models of plant migration developed from newly constructed
databases.
