This typology is then applied to problems of total drainage basin change and subsets of processes of change associated with slopes and channels. Geomorphology has traditionally been a descriptive discipline concerned with the evolution of landscapes over very long time periods. However, since the 1950s there has been a strong trend towards the study of contemporary processes of change and the influence of society as well as of natural biophysical factors. Consequently, an experimental approach is becoming more appropriate. Commissioned by the International Geographical Union, this work is the first to document different field methodologies in geomorphology. The contributors are internationally known geomorphologists from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. They review methods, global coverage, and advances in understanding while at the same time promoting a more dynamic, more relevant, and more applied science of earth surface change -- the geomorphological aspects of global change. 606 $aGeomorphology$xExperiments 606 $aGeomorphology$xFieldwork 606 $aGeomorphology$xMethodology 615 0$aGeomorphology$xExperiments. 615 0$aGeomorphology$xFieldwork. 615 0$aGeomorphology$xMethodology. 676 $a551.4/1/072 701 $aSlaymaker$b Olav$f1939-$0771822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815196603321 996 $aField experiments and measurement programs in geomorphology$94074248 997 $aUNINA
