Opis

This book, first published in 1985, has been arranged to provide wide temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales. Its interdisciplinary nature is reflected in contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists, hydrologists and geomorphologists.
