Papers based on training course lectures at different annual meetings of the International Geological Correlation Program (IGCP), held during the five-year period 1993-1997, examine desert margins and their temporal changes in the last 135,000 years. Topics include geomorphic processes and climatic change in drylands, remote sensing for paleoenvironmental studies in drylands, soil micromorphology as a technique for reconstructing paleoenvironmental change, and arid zone paleoenvironmental records from caves. The editors are affiliated with the Physical Research Laboratory, India, and the University of London, UK. The volume lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
