This book discusses the striking geomorphological landscapes of
mainland Norway. As part of the Springer book series on World
Geomorphological Landscapes, it outlines the nature and diversity
of Norway's geomorphological landscapes and examines the geological
background and the drivers of landscape evolution. It also features
numerous case studies describing the most striking sites, and
offers insights into the status and value of geoheritage and
geoconservation in the country. Providing readers with an
opportunity to explore the variety of Norwegian landscapes and
landforms through informative texts richly illustrated with color
maps and photos, the book will appeal to scientists, scholars and
any readers interested in geology, physical geography,
geomorphology, landscape tourism, geoheritage and environmental
protection.
Amplified climate change and ecological sensitivity of polar and
cold climate environments are key global environment issues.
Understanding how projected climate change will alter surface
environments in these regions is only possible when present day
source-to-sink fluxes can be quantified. The book provides the
first global synthesis and integrated analysis of environmental
drivers and quantitative rates of solute and sedimentary fluxes in
cold environments, and the likely impact of projected climate
change. The focus on largely undisturbed cold environments allows
ongoing climate change effects to be detected and, moreover,
distinguished from anthropogenic impacts. A novel approach for
co-ordinated and integrative process geomorphic research is
introduced to enable better comparison between studies. This highly
topical and multidisciplinary book, which includes case studies
covering Arctic, Antarctic, and alpine environments, will be of
interest to graduate students and researchers in the fields of
geomorphology, sedimentology and global environmental change.
