Engineering Geomorphology: Theory and PracticeWhittles, 2007 - 279 pages This volume covers the topic of engineering geomorphology as a distinct discipline. It includes basic concepts that underpin efforts to explain the causes, mechanisms and consequences of landform change. It then considers how the land surface works in the context of wetland, flatland, hills, mountains, rivers and coasts. |
