Modern, quantitative, process-oriented approach to geomorphology and the role of Earth surface processes in shaping landforms, starting from basic principles.
The book is also illustrated throughout with over 200 informative diagrams and attractive photographs, including a colour plate section.
The volume is addressed both to university students studying topics of geomorphology as part of their syllabus, and to researchers and consultants (geologists, geographers, engineers, naturalists, etc.) working in the field.
The first such reference work in thirty-five years, this is a comprehensive guide to both specific landforms and the major types of processes that create them.
While maintaining the introductory yet applied focus of previous editions, the authors have mined the most current research and data for the fifth edition.
Key Concepts in Geomorphology takes an integrative science approach that applies principles of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics in the understanding of Earth surface processes and the evolution of topography over short and long ...
Towards the end of the 19th century, the role of rivers as agents of landscape development was more firmly established, thanks to the impressive (but now largely abandoned) ideas of William Morris Davis (see the box).
