 | Geomorphology and Soils Subjects: Earth Sciences; Geography; Earth Sciences; Physical Geography; Geology - Earth Sciences; Soil Science; Physical Geography - Research Methods and Techniques; Soils - Physical Geography; Soils and sediments influence current processes, preserve evidence of past processes, indicate evolutionary phases in landscapes and provide a basis for relative and absolute chronologies. They provide an important key to the integration of short-term process studies and investigation of longer-term landform evolution. This book, first published in 1985, has been arranged to provide wide temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists, hydrologists and geomorphologists. K.S. Richards, R.R. Arnett and S. Ellis |
