Download or read book Encyclopedia of Geomorphology written by Andrew Goudie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 2128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomorphology, the discipline which analyzes the history and nature of the earth's surface, deals with the landforms produced by erosion, weathering, deposition, transport and tectonic processes. In recent decades there have been major developments in the discipline and these are reflected in this major Encyclopedia, the first such reference work in the field to be published for thirty-five years. Encyclopedia of Geomorphology has been produced in association with the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) and has a truly global perspective. The entries have been written by an international editorial team of contributors, drawn from over thirty countries, who are all among the leading experts in the discipline. In two lavishly illustrated volumes, Encyclopedia contains nearly 700 alphabetically organized entries to provide a comprehensive guide both to specific landforms and to the major types of geomorphological processes that create them. The Encyclopedia also demonstrates the major developments that have taken place in recent years in our knowledge of tectonic and climatic changes and in the use of new techniques such as modelling, remote sensing and process measurement. Older concepts, however, are not forgotten and provide an historical perspective on the development of ideas. Both accessible and authoritative, Encyclopedia of Geomorphology is destined to become the definitive resource for students, researchers and applied practitioners in the field of geomorphology and the cognate disciplines of geography, earth science, sedimentology and environmental science.
Download or read book An Experimental Study of Geomorphic Thresholds written by Stanley Alfred Schumm and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the experimental and field phases of the project indicate that geomorphic thresholds exist and that this concept can be of significance in the recognition of incipiently unstable components of the landscape. For example, within a given region, valley floor slopes, alluvial fan slopes and channel sinuosity usually vary over an order of magnitude. It should be possible to identify at what range of slopes the landforms are unstable and subject to major erosional or depositional change, as a result of a triggering hydrologic event or due to man's intervention. The results of this project should have a significant contribution to make not only in the development of preventive conservation but also to river control engineering. The geomorphic approach requires an understanding of landform history, which can provide a basis for working with the natural system in order to accomplish conservation or river stability goals.

Download or read book Geomorphology written by Richard J. Chorley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 1232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984. This major text covers the whole discipline of geomorphology, presenting a clear and comprehensive overview of the field, drawing on the full range of modern research. Landforms and their formative processes are treated on a broad spectrum of spatial scales, and examples are drawn from the major geological, climatic and biotic environments. The book is divided conveniently into some 170 clearly defined sections to allow readers to make the most efficient use of those parts of the text relevant to their particular needs. After introducing the basic concepts such as systems analysis, morphologic and cascading systems, the historical-evolutionary approach and process-response geomorphology, the book moves on to the geological background to geomorphology and then the extensive third part deals with the geomorphic processes and responding landforms. Part four examines climatic geomorphology and the appendix touches on applied geomorphology, especially fluvial processes.

Download or read book Geomorphology and the Carbon Cycle written by Martin Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first systematic examination of the role of geomorphological processes in the cycling of carbon through the terrestrial system. Argues that knowledge of geomorphological processes is fundamental to understanding the ways in which carbon is stored and recycled in the terrestrial environment Integrates classical geomorphological theory with understanding of microbial processes controlling the decomposition of organic matter Develops an interdisciplinary research agenda for the analysis of the terrestrial carbon cycle Informed by work in ecology, microbiology and biogeochemistry, in order to analyse spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial carbon cycling at the landscape scale Considers the ways in which, as Humanity enters the Anthropocene, the application of this science has the potential to manage the terrestrial carbon cycle to limit increases in atmospheric carbon
Download or read book Tropical Geomorphology written by Avijit Gupta and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although similar geomorphic processes take place in other regions, in the tropics these processes operate at different rates and with varying intensities. Tropical geomorphology therefore provides many new discoveries regarding geomorphic processes. This textbook describes both the humid and arid tropics. It provides thoroughly up-to-date concepts and relevant case studies, and emphasises the importance of geomorphology in the management and sustainable development of the tropical environment, including climate change scenarios. The text is supported by a large number of illustrations, including satellite images. Student exercises accompany each chapter. Tropical Geomorphology is an ideal textbook for any course on tropical geomorphology or the tropical environment, and is also invaluable as a reference text for researchers and environmental managers in the tropics.
