Bøker i British Geomorphological Research Group Symposia Series-serien

This text develops several key themes in an attempt to bring together recent advances in hillslope research. Hydrological, solute, soil, gully and slope stability processes, together with processes in tropical, semi-arid and periglacial environments are all accorded major sections in the book.

Based on keynote addresses presented at the International Aeolian Conference in Oxford in July 1998, this book is the latest title in the British Geomorphological Research Group series.

An understanding of sediment sources and pathways helps in solving environmental problems and maintaining biological diversity. This book brings together monitoring, single or multitracer measurements and the development of modelling strategies in aeolian, marine and fluvial environments.

Rock Weathering and Landform Evolution brings together a series of important studies on rock weathering by leading researchers, and illustrates the diversity of approaches and techniques that are currently being used by geomorphologists to study weathering processes and responses.

A synthesis of methodological and technological developments in terrain data acquisition and analysis, including developments on how terrain can be used to answer geomorphological questions.

This volume consists of twenty chapters addressing different aspects of the theme of fluvial processes and environmental change. The overall coverage is broad; scientifically, (from modelling to alluvial dating), geographically (from arid zone flash--flooding to glacial meltwaters) and in time (from contemporary process studies to the Quaternary).
