The study of ice ages has seen significant advancements in recent years, with researchers around the world developing new methods and publishing their findings in scientific journals. This has led to a dramatic shift in our understanding of the course of the Ice Age. While much remains to be learned about the sequence of individual ice advances, the direction of ice movement, and the direction of meltwater drainage, scientists have been able to reconstruct these aspects of the Ice Age.
The current Ice Age is also notable for the human interventions that have shaped the Earth's landscape. Aerial and satellite images have become essential tools for tracing the melting of glaciers, the decay of Arctic permafrost, and the clearing of the Brazilian rainforest. These visualizations provide a powerful glimpse into the impact of human activities on the environment.
This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition, "Das Eiszeitalter," by Juergen Ehlers, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature, in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, ensuring that the book reads stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
Springer Nature is committed to further developing tools for the production of books and promoting technologies to support authors. By translating and publishing this book, Springer Nature aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and understanding of ice ages and their impact on the Earth's environment.
