Apart from climate change, there are other important catalysts of landscape change, including relief, hydroclimate and runoff, sea level variations and human activity. This volume summarises the geomorphic implications of global environmental change, analysing such effects on lakes, rivers, coasts, reefs, rainforests, savannas, deserts, glacial features, and mountains. Providing a benchmark statement from the world's leading geomorphologists on the state of, and potential changes to, the environment, this book is invaluable for advanced courses on geomorphology and environmental science, and as a reference for research scientists. Interdisciplinary in scope, with a primary audience of Earth and environmental scientists, geographers, geomorphologists and ecologists, it also has a wider reach to those concerned with the social, economic and political issues raised by global environmental change, and is useful to policy makers and environmental managers.Climatic geomorphologyEnvironmental geomorphologyGlobal environmental changeLandscape changesClimatic geomorphology.Environmental geomorphology.Global environmental change.Landscape changes.551.41Slaymaker Olav1939-771822Spencer T(Tom)771823Embleton-Hamann Christine1760294MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813393503321Geomorphology and global environmental change4199177UNINA
