Authors:
- Presents the reader an overview of studies in glaciology and the changes in sedimentation that took place in the Falkland Islands (Las Malvinas) during the Permo-Carboniferous period
- This book characterises and interprets changes in depositional processes and environments documented, revealing the evolution of the palæoenvironment in the region
- The volume of new information researched and original data collected makes this an interesting read for geologists and paleontologists
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
This book focuses on the sedimentology of the Hells Kitchen Member of the Port Sussex Formation in East Falkland (Isla Soledad, Las Malvinas). It closely examines two sediment cores spanning these formations that were recovered from the Falkland Islands in 2008 following a mineral exploration programme. The integrated approach of this research, which combines sedimentological data with geochemistry, makes it a robust insight into this past climatic transition and may help to evaluate and inform predictions of future climate change.
