Sinopsis

This book highlights the basic concepts used to explain the causes, mechanisms and consequences of landform change.

It considers how the land surface works in the context of wetland, flatland, hills, mountains, rivers and coasts; and the techniques that are available to the engineering geomorphologist in the field, in the laboratory, in the office and in the various forms of remote sensing.

It is a significant book written by foremost experts in the field and is the first to truly cover the topic of engineering geomorphology as a distinct discipline. It is an essential guide for both practitioners and students.
