This book presents topical research in the study of the types, processes and effects of weathering. It discusses topics that include the use of weathering indices in rock research; geomorphic processes in the last glacial age; and, more. 410 0$aEarth sciences in the 21st century series. 606 $aWeathering 615 0$aWeathering. 676 $a627/.5 701 $aColon$b Matthew J$01864707 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957636803321 996 $aWeathering$94471612 997 $aUNINA
