Contents	Antarctica : geomorphology and climate trends -- Glacial, terrestrial, and freshwater ecosystems -- The Southern Ocean environment : anthropogenic impact and climate change -- Persistent contaminants in the Antarctic atmosphere -- Persistent contaminants in snow, terrestrial ecosystems, and inland waters -- Contaminants in Antarctic seawater and sediments -- Persistent contaminants in Antarctic marine food chains -- Climate change, anthropogenic impact, and environmental research in Antarctica : a synthesis and perspectives.
Summary	"This volume provides an overview of climate change data, its effects on the structure and functioning of Antarctic ecosystems, and the occurrence and cycling of persistent contaminants. It discusses the unique physico-chemical characteristics of the Antarctic environment, ecophysiological adaptations of terrestrial and marine organisms, the transfer of contaminants in pelagic and neritic food chains and the possible consequences for animals at higher trophic levels. The text concludes with possible future scenarios of climate change and atmospheric contamination and the role of Antarctic organisms in the early detection of environmental perturbations."--Jacket.
