By Ann Holbourn, N. Macleod, Andrew Henderson

£240.00 26 Jan 2012 Audio-Visual / Multimedia Item John Wiley and Sons Ltd

Benthic foraminifera have played a central role in deep-sea biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research over the last thirty years. These single-celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, their abundance and diversity in Cretaceous to Recent deep-sea sediments, because of the relationship between occurrence of many modern species and particular water masses, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment-water interface. In addition, stable isotopes obtained from deep-sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental information that is proving to be of major significance in studies of global climatic change.

02 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Steam and the Age of Invention

By Ben Marsden

£17.50 02 Jan 2012 Hardback The University Press Group Ltd

Palaeogeography and Palaeobiogeography

25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Upchurch, Paul McGowan, Alistair Slater, Claire

£76.99 25 Oct 2011 Hardback Taylor & Francis Inc

Biogeography represents one of the most complex and challenging aspects of macroevolutionary research, requiring input from both the earth and life sciences. Researchers with backgrounds in geology and paleontology are frequently responsible for palaeogeographic reconstruction despite having little familiarity with current biogeographic techniques. Conversely, biogeographic methods are often devised by neonatologists who are typically less familiar with the fossil record, stratigraphy, and palaeogeography. This volume brings together both approaches to create a more thorough picture of biodiversity in space and time. This goal is greatly aided by an emphasis on electronic resources, analytical software, and data currently available on open-access websites.
