Geomorphology, the discipline which analyzes the history and nature
of the earth's surface, deals with the landforms produced by
erosion, weathering, deposition, transport and tectonic processes.
In recent decades there have been major developments in the
discipline and these are reflected in this major Encyclopedia, the
first such reference work in the field to be published for
thirty-five years. Encyclopedia of Geomorphology has been produced
in association with the International Association of
Geomorphologists (IAG) and has a truly global perspective. The
entries have been written by an international editorial team of
contributors, drawn from over thirty countries, who are all among
the leading experts in the discipline. In two lavishly illustrated
volumes, Encyclopedia contains nearly 700 alphabetically organized
entries to provide a comprehensive guide both to specific landforms
and to the major types of geomorphological processes that create
them. The Encyclopedia also demonstrates the major developments
that have taken place in recent years in our knowledge of tectonic
and climatic changes and in the use of new techniques such as
modelling, remote sensing and process measurement. Older concepts,
however, are not forgotten and provide an historical perspective on
the development of ideas. Both accessible and authoritative,
Encyclopedia of Geomorphology is destined to become the definitive
resource for students, researchers and applied practitioners in the
field of geomorphology and the cognate disciplines of geography,
earth science, sedimentology and environmental science.
