Morphotectonics, the relation between geomorphology and
(neo)tectonics is fundamental to the understanding of landscape
evolution. Stressing mainly the quantitative interpretation of
field observations, this monograph compares the morphological
structure of drainage systems, river courses, glacial forms,
volcanic landscapes and mass movements with joint orientations. The
latter are indicative of the neotectonic stresses; and thus
inferences on the genesis of the morphological forms can be drawn.
The data on outcrops on all six continents and on islands in all
major oceans have been acquired to a large extent by the author
himself. The book, therefore, represents a first-hand account of
the work and its relevance which has been done worldwide over the
last 30 years.
