| Abstract |
The inspiration for this volume on the ‘Late Quarternary palaeoceanography of North Atlantic margins’ came from a meeting of the ‘North Atlantic Seaboard Programme’ (NASP), a subproject of the International Geological Correlation Program (IGCP) No. 253 on ‘Termination of the Pleistocene’ which was held at Royal Holloway, University of London, in the spring of 1991. The majority of the talks given at that meeting were later put together in a special issue of the Journal of Quaternary Science, under the guidance of J. J. Lowe (Lowe et al. 1994). At the Royal Holloway meeting, which had a significant focus on terrestrial records of late glacial change, Andrews, Austin and Bergsten proposed that the marine records from the continental margins around the North Atlantic required ‘equal’ consideration, and thus proposed to convene a meeting to evaluate the palaeoceanographic marine records from the North Atlantic. A particular goal was to obtain new information from both the northeastern North Atlantic (i.e. the region between east Greenland and NW Europe), but also data from the northwestern North Atlantic, particularly the eastern margins of North America. These objectives have largely been achieved (Fig. 1). The papers published here are a selection of those presented at a meeting which was held at the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a series of workshops at the Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Edinburgh during January 1995. |
