Sommario/riassunto |
|
Monitoring and Modeling Geomorphological Environments is a comprehensive overview of the latest research in the field with a focus on the advantages and benefits of integrating different methodological approaches to geomorphological research. The chapters in the book reflect both the geographical range and the thematic focus of the late John Thornes, and include contributions from many of his former research students, research assistants and project co-investigators alongside some of the most senior practitioners in the discipline. This book focuses on an integrative approach to geomorphology |
