The Basics of GeomorphologyKey Concepts【電子書籍】[ Kenneth J. Gregory ]

<p>"I can think of no better guides than Professors Ken Gregory and John Lewin to lead the reader through the conceptual basis of this exciting science."<br /> <em><strong>- Victor R. Baker, University of Arizona</strong></em></p> <p>"A very readable and informative introduction to the discipline for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers."<br /> <em><strong>- Angela Gurnell, Queen Mary University of London</strong></em></p> <p>"Time will tell, but this book may well mark a turning point in the way students and scientists alike perceive Earth surface processes and landforms."<br /> <em><strong>- Jonathan Phillips, University of Kentucky</strong></em></p> <p>This student focused book provides a detailed description and analysis of the key concepts, ideas, and hypotheses that inform geomorphology.</p> <p>Kenneth Gregory and John Lewin explain the basics of landform science in 20 concepts, each the subject of a substantive, cross-referenced entry. They use the idea of the 'geomorphic system' to organise entries in four sections, with extensive web resources provided for each:</p> <ul> <li><strong>System Contexts:</strong> The Systems Approach / Uniformitarianism / Landform / Form, Process and Materials / Equilibrium / Complexity and Non Linear Dynamical Systems</li> <li><strong>System Functioning:</strong> Cycles and cascades / Force-Resistance / Geomorphic work / Process Form Models</li> <li><strong>System Adjustments:</strong> Timescales / Forcings / Change Trajectories / Inheritance and Sensitivity / Anthropocene</li> <li><strong>Drivers for the Future:</strong> Geomorphic Hazards / Geomorphic Engineering / Design and Prediction</li> </ul> <p>Aligned with the teaching literature, this innovative text provides a fully-functioning learning environment for study, revision, and even self-directed research for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of geomorphology.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
