This volume is the final summary volume from the fluvial sub-projects of IGCP Project 158. It is not intended to provide details of all research completed in each contributing country, but instead to provide succinct summaries. The chapters are selected and arranged to illustrate particular aspects of palaeohydrological change in the last 15,000 years. The volume is organized in three main sections. The first section of 3 chapters is designed to introduce the temperate zone and IGCP Project 158. The second section of 14 chapters describes the research conclusions from 14 different study areas and each one develops a particular theme which helps to augment understanding of temperate palaechydrology. The third section is composed of chapters which introduce specific topics to provide a perspective to temperate palaeohydrology, make conclusions in relation to correlation of events from one area to another in the temperate zone, as well as in relation to global patterns.
