Late Quaternary Climate Change in Western Eurasia
The main purpose of this research project was to develop a comprehensive description of climate change in Western Eurasia during Holocene, using the method of literature review, including reports of palynological, lacustrine, pedological and archaeological site contexts. An inventory of all assemble...
