摘要
The North Atlantic Seaboard Programme (NASP) is one of the main sub-projects of IGCP-253 ('Termination of the Pleistocene') and is concerned with the history of environmental changes in areas adjacent to the North Atlantic during the last glacial-interglacial transition. The organisation and aims of IGCP-253 are briefly outlined, to provide the wider context of the NASP. The specific aims of the NASP are introduced, with reference to the importance of the North Atlantic region in late Quaternary research. Some methodological problems are outlined as is the strategy adopted in regional summaries and an overall North Atlantic synthesis, which are presented separately in the issue of Journal of Quaternary Science of which this introductory paper forms a part.
