Product Description
Product Description
This highly successful review of techniques for studying the Earth's landforms has been thoroughly updated. Retaining the five-part structure of the first edition, the specialist contributors to Geomorphological Techniques have augmented their original, authoritative coverage with critical evaluations of recent major improvements in this field. As before, Part One is concerned with investigation methods and process determination; Part Two, with geomorphology and mapping, and Part Three, with the properties and measurements of materials. Part Four examines processes, and Part Five covers the history and evolution of landforms. A new chapter on neotectonics reflects the impact of developments in tectonic theory, and heavily revised sections deal with advances in remote sensing, image analysis, radiometric dating, geomorphometry, data loggers, radioactive tracers, and the determination of pore water pressure and the rates of denudation. With additional new illustrations, and the recent profusion of literature reflected in an extensive bibliography of more than a thousand references, the second edition of Geomorphological techniques will prove an invaluable manual for geomorphologists from undergraduate to consultant level, and will be of interest to researchers in the related fields of hydrology, physical geology, civil engineering and soil science.
From the Back Cover
Geomorphological Techniques provides geomorphologists and earth and environmental scientists with a manual of techniques for studying the Earth's landforms. The five part structure covers: methods and process determination, geomorphometry and mapping, material properties and measurement, processes, and the history and evolution of the landscape. Concentrating on methods of obtaining data in the field and through laboratory analysis, the specialist contributors present critical evaluations of the array of techniques available to deal with specific problems. This thoroughly revised edition includes a new chapter on neotectonics, and updated sections on remote sensing, image analysis, radiometric dating, geomorphometry, data loggers, radioactive tracers, and the determination of pore water pressure and of the rates of denudation. New illustrations have been added and the recent profusion of literature is reflected in an extensive bibliography of more than a thousand references. The second edition of Geomorphological Techniques will continue to prove an invaluable resource for students and researchers in geomorphology and in the related fields of hydrology, geology, engineering and soil science.
