{"product_id":"9781119959892","title":"Reconstructing Earth's Climate History: Inquiry-based Exercises for Lab and Class","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe context for understanding global climate change today lies in the records of Earth’s past. This is demonstrated by decades of paleoclimate research by scientists in organizations such as the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), the Antarctic Geological Drilling Program (ANDRILL), and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this full colour textbook is to put key data and published case studies of past climate change at your fingertips, so that you can experience the nature of paleoclimate reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing foundational geologic concepts, students explore a wide variety of topics, including:  marine sediments, age determination, stable isotope paleoclimate proxies, Cenozoic climate change, climate cycles, polar climates, and abrupt warming and cooling events, students are invited to evaluate published scientific data, practice developing and testing hypotheses, and infer the broader implications of scientific results.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is our philosophy that addressing \u003ci\u003ehow we know\u003c\/i\u003e is as important as addressing \u003ci\u003ewhat we know\u003c\/i\u003e about past climate change. Making climate change science accessible is the goal of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for earth science students at a variety of levels studying paleoclimatology, oceanography, Quaternary science, or earth-system science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdditional resources for this book can be found at:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ehttp:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/stjohn\/climatehistory\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120728621296,"sku":"9781119959892","price":98.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781119959892_p0.jpg?v=1763697826","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781119959892","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
