Preface to the Special Issue on ‘‘Hydrology from Space’’

Terrestrial waters represent less than a mere 1% of the total amount of water on Earth. However, they have crucial impact on terrestrial life and human needs, and play a major role in climate variability. Excluding the ice caps, fresh water on land is stored in various reservoirs: snow pack, glaciers, aquifers and other geological formations, root zone (upper few meters of the soil), and surfac...

Fao/iaea International Symposium on Applications of Gene-based Technologies for Improving Animal Production and Health in Developing Countries

The isotope hydrology of Quaternary climate change.

Understanding the links between climate change and human migration and culture is an important theme in Quaternary archaeology. While oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes in high-latitude ice cores provide the ultimate detailed record of palaeoclimate extending back to the Middle Pleistocene, groundwater can act as a climate archive for areas at lower latitudes, permitting a degree of calibratio...
