It combines the knowledge dispersed widely in existing literature with regional case studies, color figures and photographs. The chapters provide a useful basis to understand alluvial fans and a selection of papers attached to each chapter offers additional, more focused reading. This volume is aimed at engineers, planners and especially students in earth sciences. .SedimentologyGeomorphologySoil sciencePhysical geographyNatural disastersSedimentologyGeomorphologySoil SciencePhysical GeographyNatural HazardsSedimentology.Geomorphology.Soil science.Physical geography.Natural disasters.Sedimentology.Geomorphology.Soil Science.Physical Geography.Natural Hazards.363.3493Bowman Danauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut954551BOOK9910337899503321Principles of Alluvial Fan Morphology2159157UNINA
