Geomorphological Processes and Landscape Change: Britain In The Last 1000 Years
Britain In The Last 1000 Years
Samenvatting
The expert contributors to this cutting edge volume provide an overview of geomorphological process activity and landscape change in Britain over the past 1000 years. The range of the book is unusually broad, encompassing hillslope, valley floor and floodplain, fluvial, estuarine and coastal processes.
Provides an overview of geomorphological process activity and landscape change in Britain over the past 1000 years.
The range of the book is unusually broad, encompassing hillslope, valley floor and floodplain, fluvial, estuarine and coastal processes.
Considers the relevance of technological and conceptual approaches to understanding landscape dynamics.
Examines key process environments highlighting significant trends and the influence of human activity, and incorporating examples and modelling.
Encourages geographers to look forward to the challenges that geomorphology faces in the new millennium.
