Summary

Climate changes throughout the various geological eras of Earth's long history have been an integral part of the planet's dynamics and its position in the Solar System. Global geological phenomena, fluctuations, and long-term changes in paleoclimates have left clear traces in the geological record. This book is an attempt to synthesize the latest research data on global changes in geosystems and climate fluctuations in Earth's history. The focus is on those changes in the geological past of the planets that are most closely related to climate fluctuations, their interrelationships and patterns over time as a basis for assessing the current state of the Earth's climate, as well as possible future changes and their consequences for humanity. In this sense, the book could be seen as part of the efforts of the international PAGES (Past Global Changes) project, whose main goal is to better understand global changes in the past with a view to predicting the future.
