Coastal Problems: Geomorphology, Ecology and Society at the Coast
ISBN: 9780340531976 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As coastal populations burgeon, problems of erosion, pollution and coastal change are becoming ever more serious and necessitate scientifically informed management strategies. This authoritative new study discusses the causes of, and possible solutions to, some of the more pressing problems at the coast, against a background of the natural geomorphological and ecological workings of coastal environments.
A holistic approach to the understanding of coastal problems is suggested, which integrates geomorphology, ecology and society through a consideration of the basic...

Geomorphology in the Anthropocene
ISBN: 9781107139961 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Anthropocene is a major new concept in the Earth sciences and this book examines the effects on geomorphology within this period. Drawing examples from many different global environments, this comprehensive volume demonstrates that human impact on landforms and land-forming processes is profound, due to various driving forces, including: use of fire; extinction of fauna; development of agriculture, urbanisation, and globalisation; and new methods of harnessing energy. The book explores the ways in which future climate change due to anthropogenic causes may further magnify effects on...

Salt Weathering Hazards
ISBN: 9780471958420 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The hazard posed to engineering structures by salt weathering is an increasing one because of such diverse factors such as the spread of irrigation and high levels of atmospheric pollution. Salt weathering is also a potent cause of rock decay and geomorphological change in polar, coastal and desert environments. Salt Weathering Hazards uses examples from many parts of the world and brings together a diverse literature from a range of disciplines: geology, geomorphology, engineering and archaeology.

Landscapes and Geomorphology: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199565573 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Landscapes are all around us, but most of us know very little about how they have developed, what goes on in them, and how they react to changing climates, tectonics, and human activities. Examining what landscape is, and how we use a range of ideas and techniques to study it, Andrew Goudie and Heather Viles demonstrate how scientists have built on classic methods--pioneered by the great researchers of the nineteenth century--to shed new light on our planet. Using examples from around the world, including New Zealand, the Tibetan Plateau, and the deserts of the Middle East, they examine some...
