Slow and Fast. 330 $aGeomorphology deals with some of the most striking patterns of nature. From mountain ranges and mid-ocean ridges, to river networks and sand dunes, there is a whole family of forms, structures, and shapes that demand rationalization as well as mathematical description. In the various chapters of this volume, many of these patterns will be explored and discussed, and attempts will be made to both unravel the reasons for their very existence and to describe their dynamics in quantitative terms. Particular focus will be on lava and mud flows, ice and snow dynamics, river and coastal morphodynamics and landscape formation. Combining a pedagogical approach with up-to-date reviews of forefront research, this volume will serve both postgraduate students and lecturers in search of advanced textbook material, and experienced researchers wishing to get acquainted with the various physical and mathematical approaches in a range of closely related research fields. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v582 606 $aFluids 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aDynamical systems 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aFluid- and Aerodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026 606 $aEarth Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G00002 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 606 $aApplications of Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13003 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 615 0$aFluids. 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aDynamical systems. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 14$aFluid- and Aerodynamics. 615 24$aEarth Sciences, general. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 24$aGeology. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 676 $a551.41 702 $aBalmforth$b N.J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aProvenzale$b A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 12$aGran Combin Summer School 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139804603321 996 $aGeomorphological fluid mechanics$9353416 997 $aUNINA
