| Major ecological and paleoclimate studies have been made in the dry valleys of Victoria Land east of McMurdo Sound. |
| The contradiction between the paleofauna and the uniformitarian paleoclimate is so great that one wonders why scientists do not question the uniformitarian paradigm. |
| Thus paleoclimate observations from the west coast of Canada are of both regional and continental importance. |
| The latter is important to glaciology, paleoclimate and changes in global sea level. |
| However, paleoclimate scientists have also made some approximations of global temperatures further back in time. |
| As the authors point out themselves, the comparison of the historic data to the paleoclimate data is a bit questionable. |
