It is the first volume to bring together a collection of geoscience investigations focusing exclusively on temperature variations of the past. The introductory sections address the major and minor physical controls, or drivers, that affect earth's climate. Several chapters describe the naturally occurring range of variation of climatic conditions and illustrate past changes in global temperatures. Additional topics include case studies that show how ancient temperature conditions are determined, as well as new techniques that have significant potential as proxies for assessing paleoclimates. Several chapters demonstrate the magnitude and length of duration of numerous temperature variations which have occurred during geologic time periods.
