Описание: Landscapes are all around us, but most of us know very little about how they have developed, what goes on in them, and how they react to changing climates, tectonics, and human activities. This Very Short Introduction discusses the key ideas and methods used to study and examine landscapes, and their importance in cultural terms.

Описание: GEOMORPHOLOGY AND THE CARBON CYCLE
'An outstanding and timely book, which claims centre stage for geomorphology in an analysis of one of the key themes of Earth System Science - the global carbon cycle. Professor Evans writes persuasively and thoughtfully, weaving together geomorphic theory with a broad-ranging review of empirical evidence to produce a convincing perspective on current trends as well as an agenda for future research.'
Heather A. Viles, Professor of Biogeomorphology and Heritage Conservation, University of Oxford and President, British Society for Geomorphology
'Carbon is moving all around us. Some of these flows of carbon are linked to physical processes that weather, erode and shape the landscape, requiring us to make the link between geomorphology and biogeochemistry to understand them. This timely book, written by an expert in the role of erosion on peatland soil, details how geomorphic processes impact the carbon cycle. It considers this over millions of year timescale, up to the present day, where humans have modified these carbon transfers. It would make an excellent introduction to the subject for courses in geography and earth sciences, while also providing rich detail and case-studies of erosion and carbon from mountainous uplands to coastal ecosystems for advanced researchers.'
Professor Robert Hilton, Department of Geography, Durham University
Geomorphology and the Carbon Cycle is the first systematic examination of the role of geomorphological processes in the cycling of carbon through the terrestrial system. Through a systematic analysis of the sediment cascade it argues that knowledge of geomorphological processes is fundamental to understanding the ways in which carbon is stored and recycled in the terrestrial environment. The book integrates classical geomorphological theory with understanding of microbial processes controlling the decomposition of organic matter to develop an interdisciplinary research agenda for the analysis of the terrestrial carbon cycle. The book develops a conceptual framework based on geomorphological understanding, and informed by work in ecology, microbiology and biogeochemistry, in order to analyse spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial carbon cycling at the landscape scale. It also 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.

Описание: This book, first published in 1985, has been arranged to provide wide temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales. Its interdisciplinary nature is reflected in contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists, hydrologists and geomorphologists.
Описание: This book, first published in 1973, focuses on non-urban terrain, and presents a uniquely balanced historical treatment of both the land degradation induced by man and his efforts at conservation, preservation and reclamation.

Описание: Originally published in 1972. This book highlights this coherent area of scholarship under the headings of spatial point systems, networks, continuous distributions, partitioning and simulation. Seventeen authors present the body of spatial techniques necessary to enable the building of dynamic spatial models of landforms.
Описание: Land and sea ice combined form the largest part of the Earth`s cryosphere, responding to climate change over timescales ranging from seasons to millennia. This is a detailed and comprehensive overview of the observation and modelling of present and predicted future trends in the mass balance of ice on Earth.

Описание: Thisbook deals with the relationship between geomorphology and society. This topic hashad rather scant treatment in the literature except to some extent under thelabel “applied geomorphology”. In this text the authors aim to bring togetherconceptual issues and case studies of how geomorphology influences society and,indeed, how society is in turn influenced by geomorphology. In an age in whichthe influence of human activities on global environments has become soparamount that it is increasingly common to refer to it geologically as the “anthropocene”,the book aims to reflect on the geomorphological significance of widespread anddiverse forms of human impact in a range of environmental settings.
Описание: This book, first published in 1980, collects together thirteen articles on `Geomorphology in Arid Regions`. It uses the term `arid` loosely to include studies from climes which might otherwise be considered semi-arid, in order to provide a diversity of papers dealing with important problems of interest to geomorphologists today.

Описание: This book, first published in 1987, contains a collection of papers presented at the 18th Binghamton Symposium, focusing on the topic of catastrophic flooding. These papers make the case for the careful collection and interpretation of data from which the importance and effects of catastrophic flooding may be deduced.

Описание: Sir Roderick Impey Murchison (1792-1871) revised his earlier work, The Silurian System (1839), and synthesised the latest research on this geological period in this 1854 publication. Detailed engravings of fossils, including crustaceans, cephalopods and fish, accompany the text, which remains important in the history of nineteenth-century geology and palaeontology.
