Описание: Landscapes are all around us, but most of us know very little about how they have developed, what goes on in them, and how they react to changing climates, tectonics, and human activities. This Very Short Introduction discusses the key ideas and methods used to study and examine landscapes, and their importance in cultural terms.

Описание: This updated and revised second edition brings geopedology issues into the current context. This new edition extends the work on popular topics such as digital soil mapping, GIS and landscape mapping, and it also gives valuable insight with up-to-date theoretical discussions and new application with relevant case studies. This textbook offers a proven approach for reliable mapping of soil-landscape relationships to derive information for policy, planning and management at scales ranging from local to regional. Filled with didactic elements such as case studies, visual aids (maps, charts and figures), questions and answers, the book is of interest to geohazard studies, land use conflict analysis, land use planning, land degradation assessment, and land suitability analysis. Soil is a vital resource for society at large and an important determinant of the economic status of nations. The intensification of natural disasters and the increased land use competition for food and energy have raised awareness of the relevant role the pedosphere plays in natural and anthropogenic environments. Recent papers and global initiatives show a renewed interest in soil research and its applications for improved planning and management of this fragile and finite resource.

Описание: This book focuses on a significant branch of anthropogeomorphology, which is not adequately studied: the impact of transportation systems on altering earth surface processes and landforms. This book fills the gap with in-depth study on the interaction between individual modes of transport network (e.g., trail, roads, railways, waterways, airports, and tunnel) and surface hydro-geomorphology with intensive literature review, fieldwork, geo-environmental modelling, mapping, case studies, and examples from different parts of the world. On the one hand, this book also addresses the vulnerability of transport networks from climate change and critical geo-hazards like floods, landslides, etc. with case studies from the high-risk zones of India. Overall, this book promotes peaceful harmony between the transport network and its surrounding landscapes as an essential lesson for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders.

'An outstanding and timely book, which claims centre stage for geomorphology in an analysis of one of the key themes of Earth System Science - the global carbon cycle. Professor Evans writes persuasively and thoughtfully, weaving together geomorphic theory with a broad-ranging review of empirical evidence to produce a convincing perspective on current trends as well as an agenda for future research.'
Heather A. Viles, Professor of Biogeomorphology and Heritage Conservation, University of Oxford and President, British Society for Geomorphology
'Carbon is moving all around us. Some of these flows of carbon are linked to physical processes that weather, erode and shape the landscape, requiring us to make the link between geomorphology and biogeochemistry to understand them. This timely book, written by an expert in the role of erosion on peatland soil, details how geomorphic processes impact the carbon cycle. It considers this over millions of year timescale, up to the present day, where humans have modified these carbon transfers. It would make an excellent introduction to the subject for courses in geography and earth sciences, while also providing rich detail and case-studies of erosion and carbon from mountainous uplands to coastal ecosystems for advanced researchers.'
Professor Robert Hilton, Department of Geography, Durham University
Geomorphology and the Carbon Cycle is the first systematic examination of the role of geomorphological processes in the cycling of carbon through the terrestrial system. Through a systematic analysis of the sediment cascade it argues that knowledge of geomorphological processes is fundamental to understanding the ways in which carbon is stored and recycled in the terrestrial environment. The book integrates classical geomorphological theory with understanding of microbial processes controlling the decomposition of organic matter to develop an interdisciplinary research agenda for the analysis of the terrestrial carbon cycle. The book develops a conceptual framework based on geomorphological understanding, and informed by work in ecology, microbiology and biogeochemistry, in order to analyse spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial carbon cycling at the landscape scale. It also considers the ways in which, as Humanity enters the Anthropocene, the application of this science has the potential to manage the terrestrial carbon cycle to limit increases in atmospheric carbon.

Описание: Thisbook deals with the relationship between geomorphology and society. This topic hashad rather scant treatment in the literature except to some extent under thelabel “applied geomorphology”. In this text the authors aim to bring togetherconceptual issues and case studies of how geomorphology influences society and,indeed, how society is in turn influenced by geomorphology. In an age in whichthe influence of human activities on global environments has become soparamount that it is increasingly common to refer to it geologically as the “anthropocene”,the book aims to reflect on the geomorphological significance of widespread anddiverse forms of human impact in a range of environmental settings.

Geomorphology and Volcanology of Costa Rica is the product of more than 30 years of research explaining the evolution of the quaternary relief of a geomorphologically diverse country. The book details the physical landscape of Costa Rica, with an emphasis on potential threats to the landscape, such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, and sea level rise.
The book answers questions on the climate changes associated with the intense volcanism that affects this country. Geomorphologists, geologists, geographers, and students who specialize in the Earth Sciences will benefit from knowing the geomorphology of Costa Rica, not only as a case study, but also for the lessons it offers on climate change and worldwide geological history.
