Lithology, distribution, correlation, and isotope ages of exposed Precambrian rocks in Eastern United States.

This book discusses glacial or glacially-controlled sequences as markers of the Earth's geodynamic and climatic history.

Presents information from the primary abiotic forces defining the system, and from the present hydrology, biogeochemistry and physics of major sites of organic carbon production of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Additionally, research on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the dry valley soils is included. The role of environmental management in long-term ecological studies is also addressed. The accompanying CDROM provides details and scale to visualize the McMurdo Dry Valleys from an ecosystem perspective.
