The Anthropocene is a major new concept in the Earth sciences and
this book examines the effects on geomorphology within this period.
Drawing examples from many different global environments, this
comprehensive volume demonstrates that human impact on landforms
and land-forming processes is profound, due to various driving
forces, including: use of fire; extinction of fauna; development of
agriculture, urbanisation, and globalisation; and new methods of
harnessing energy. The book explores the ways in which future
climate change due to anthropogenic causes may further magnify
effects on geomorphology, with respect to future hazards such as
floods and landslides, the state of the cryosphere, and sea level.
The book concludes with a consideration of the ways in which
landforms are now being managed and protected. Covering all major
aspects of geomorphology, this book is ideal for undergraduate and
graduate students studying geomorphology, environmental science and
physical geography, and for all researchers of geomorphology.
