Geomorphology is the study of the Earth's diverse physical
land-surface features and the dynamic processes that shape these
features. Examining natural and anthropogenic processes, The SAGE
Handbook of Geomorphology is a comprehensive exposition of the
fundamentals of geomorphology that examines form, process, and
applications of the discipline. Organized into five substantive
sections, the Handbook is an overview of: * Foundations and
Relevance: including the nature and scope of geomorphology; the
origins and development of geomorphology; the role and character of
theory in geomorphology; geomorphology and environmental
management; and geomorphology and society * Techniques and
Approaches: including observations and experiments;
geomorphological mapping; the significance of models; process and
form; dating surfaces and sediment; remote sensing in
geomorphology; GIS in geomorphology; biogeomorphology; human
activity * Process and Environment: including the evolution of
regolith; weathering; fluids, flows and fluxes; sediment transport
and deposition; hill slopes; riverine environments; glacial
geomorphology; periglacial environments; coastal environments;
aeolian environments; tropical environments; karst and karst
processes * Environmental Change: including landscape evolution and
tectonics; interpreting quaternary environments; environmental
change; disturbance and responses to geomorphic systems *
Conclusion: including challenges and perspectives; and a concluding
review The Handbook has contributions from 48 international authors
and was initially organized by the International Association of
Geomorphologists. This will be a much-used and much-cited reference
for researchers in Geomorphology, Physical Geography and the
Environmental Sciences.
