✦ Synopsis

This Volume Summarizes New Developments In Understanding The Longest-lived Icehouse Period In Phanerozoic Earth History, The Late Paleozoic Ice Age. Resolving The Late Paleozoic Ice Age In Time And Space Provides Summaries Of Existing And New Data From The Various Gondwanan Continental Relics, And Also Reviews Stratigraphic Successions From The Paleotropical And Temperate Regions Of Laurussia That Preserve An Indirect Record Of Glaciation. It Addresses The Extent To Which Records Of Glaciation Indicate Protracted, Long-term Climatic Austerity, As Opposed To Fluctuating, More Dynamic Climate, And Provides New Constraints On The Timing Of Glaciation. Additionally, It Tackles Questions Of Synchroneity Of Glaciation Across The Various Gondwanan Continental Relics, And Timing Relationships Between Near-field And Far-field Records At Greater Levels Of Resolution Than Has Been Possible Previously. Results Point Toward A Dynamic Icehouse Regime That Is Comparable To The Cenozoic Icehouse, And Away From Traditional Interpretations Of The Late Paleozoic Ice Age As A Single, Protracted Event That Involved Stable, Long-lived Ice Centers.--publisher's Website.
