About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The authors succeeded in presenting an up-to-date state-of-the-art summary of the (extra-tropical) glaciations of South and North America. … The text is clear and easy to understand, the figures explain the basic items. … For all who are involved in Quaternary research in the Americas (in extra-tropical regions) it presents a state-of-the-art report, new research results, and emerging topics of hemispheric glacial correlations, since during the recent years improved dating methods have increased the ability to more precisely determine the timing and durations of glaciations.” (Klaus Heine, Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, Vol. 57 (4), 2013)Authors and Affiliations

Andrea Coronato is Professor of Physical Geography at the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco in Ushaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, and researcher of the Laboratorio de Cuaternario, Centro Austral de Investigaciones Científicas (CADIC), Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas (CONICET) at Ushaia, with emphasis on the physical geography, geomorphology, and paleoenvironments of Southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. In the last years she has worked on the study of glacial, fluvial, and Aeolian geomorphology, Quaternary glaciations and the environmental impact of Canadian beavers on fluvial systems of Tierra del Fuego.
Jorge Rabassa is Professor of Geography at the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, Ushaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, and researcher of the Laboratoria de Cuaternario, Centro Austral de Investigaciones Científicas (CADIC), Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas (CONICET) at Ushaia, working on late Cenozoic geology, geomorphology, and paleoenvironments. During the past years he has studied glacial geology and geomorphology of Southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, Late Cenozoic glaciations, and the impact of global climate change on Patagonia glaciers. Jorge Rabassa is the editor of the book “The Late Cenozoic of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, Vol. 11: Developments in Quaternary Science” (2008).
Karin F. Helmens works for the Department of Physical Geography and QuaternaryGeology of Stockholm University and is, among others, author of the book “Neogene-Quaternary geology of the high plain of Bogotá, Eastern Cordillera, Colombia: stratigraphy, paleoenviroments, and landscape evolution” (1990).
