Based on contributions to the first General Assembly of the International Consortium on Landslides, this reference and status report emphasizes the mechanisms of different types of landslides, landsli
This collection of papers offers a new approach to nearshore and estuary studies, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary techniques and data integration. The important results of these studies are acco
This book is a comprehensive overview of the ever- captivating field of glaciation from the perspective of glacial landsystems. This approach models the many processes, forms and interactions that can
With the increasing need to take an holistic view of landslide hazard and risk, this book overviews the concept of risk research and addresses the sociological and psychological issues resulting from
Clear writing and analysis of the broad spectrum of processes that produce shale are coupled with well-captioned 150 illustrations, 40 tables, boxed technical details, glossary and appendices. Recount
A previous edition is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed. . Bagnold explains on a basis of experimental physics some of the many strange phenomena produced by the natural movement of sand ov
"Describes the process of erosion, including how the power of wind, water, and glaciers have changed the Earth's surface. Includes information on fossils."
Cryosols – permafrost – occupy a unique part of the earth and have properties greatly different from other soils. They also occur where the greatest impact of global warming is predicted. This is the
This textbook explains sedimentological processes via the fundamental physics that underlies the actual mechanisms involved. The applicability of fundamental principles, such as Newton's Three Laws of
Remotely-sensed data has become important for the analysis, characterization and modeling of a wide array of land surface processes, whether biophysical or human, in the earth system sciences. These p
Phosphate and nitrogen compounds control growth of vegetation in most, if not all, fresh, brackish or salt waters. This book deals with the process constituting the cycles of the phosphate and nitroge
Since the outset, the aim of debris-flow research has been the comprehension of the physical mechanisms that govern the triggering of the phenomenon along particularly steep slopes, mobilization and t
