A major synthesis of Quaternary environmental changes with a strong global perspective and a focus on the interactions between geological, biological and hydrological processes. Previous Quaternary geology monographs neglected the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia. Conceived this project to foster a more balanced perspective. Wrote 4 of 12 chapters, edited 100%.

Arising from Martin's fieldwork in Africa, Australia and Asia, the Directors of WMO and UNEP asked him to prepare a detailed review of the complex interactions between desertification and climate to underpin the UN Desertification Convention negotiations. Martin wrote 70% of the report and formulated every recommendation.
