Abstract

This book, including 22 papers by well-known authorities, presents a balanced picture of the possible types of information that can be bound about the past occurrence of El Nino. Topics presented include the following: oxygen-isotope analyses of ice cores in the Andes; tree-ring growth; trace mineral concentrations in annual layers of coral reefs; Nile River flood records back 13 centuries. The book is accessible to outsiders whose interests require a knowledge of El Nino and its historical manifestations.
