"Earth Surface Processes" is an introductory text for those
studying the dynamics of fluid and sediment transport in the
environments, in the context of both present-day patterns as well
as the environmental changes decipherable in the geological record.
The book is divided into two parts. The first deals with the
global-scale aspects of the earth's surface system. The second part
focuses on the physical underpinnings for fluid and sediment
transport in a number of settings, found at the earth's surface and
in its oceans.
"Earth Surface Processes" fits into the literature of the broad
holistic discipline of 'Earth System Science.' The author
illustrates the physical principles of earth's surface processes
and explains the relevant theories by quantitative practical
exercises.The pioneering textbook on the "new sedimentology"One of
the first textbooks to adopt the Earth Systems approach to geology,
developed at Penn State and StanfordShould reinvigorate more
traditional courses in physical sedimentology and dynamical
sedimentologySuccessfully marries the innovative holistic approach
to Earth Systems with the traditional reductionist approach to
sedimentary processesExplains both the global-scale Earth Surface
System and the fluid dynamics and sedimentary transport processes
that underlie thisQuantitative approach is reinforced with worked
examples and solutionsRichly illustrated with original diagrams and
a colour plate section
