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. 517 3 $aGeomorphology & Global Environmental Change 606 $aClimatic geomorphology 606 $aEnvironmental geomorphology 606 $aGlobal environmental change 606 $aLandscape changes 615 0$aClimatic geomorphology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geomorphology. 615 0$aGlobal environmental change. 615 0$aLandscape changes. 676 $a551.41 702 $aSlaymaker$b Olav$f1939- 702 $aSpencer$b T$g(Tom), 702 $aEmbleton-Hamann$b Christine 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454491203321 996 $aGeomorphology and global environmental change$91576316 997 $aUNINA
