Opis

Over the past few decades, an explosion of housing, commercial, agricultural, and municipal development has rapidly encroached on the edges of the Everglades. An overwhelming amount of geological data has been gathered from these previously unexplored inaccessible peripheral areas. The Geology of the Everglades and Adjacent Areas presents a comprehensive overview of this new research, painting a complete picture of the history of the Everglades through the perspective of various geoscientists in a single resource. This text also includes an accompanying CD-ROM that features animated maps along with a Power Point presentation of simulated space shuttle imagery of Eocene-to-Holocene.
