Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science

The Library is delighted to announce that the Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science is now accessible online via Elsevier's Science Direct platform.

The
Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science offers 360 articles in 2,600 pages by experts in the field. This branch of the Earth sciences links ancient prehistory to modern environments as these sediments contain the fossil remains of existing species of flora and fauna, and their immediate predecessors. Quaternary science plays an integral part in such important issues for modern society as groundwater resources and contamination, sea level change, geologic hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis), soil erosion, plus much more.

Other Earth Science reference titles are listed on our Reference Resources page.
