Geomorphology and Global Environmental Change
ISBN: 9780521291002 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How will global environmental change affect the landscape and our interaction with it? 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 summarizes the state-of-the-art concerning the geomorphic implications of global environmental change, analyzing 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 current state of, and...

Mountain Geomorphology
ISBN: 9781138145740 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mountains represent one of the most inspiring and attractive natural features on the surface of the earth. Visually, they dominate the landscape. However, the increasing realization of the fragility of mountain areas because of changes in land use, management and climate, combined with an understanding of their importance for water and other natural resources, has resulted in a growing interest in mountain environments in recent years. Hence, Mountain Geomorphology represents a timely and unique contribution to the literature.
Written by a team of international experts,... Mountains represent one of the most inspiring and attractive natural features on the surface of the earth. Visually, they dominate the landscape. Howe...

Canada's Cold Environments: Volume 1
ISBN: 9780773509252 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Low temperatures, wind-chill, snow, sea ice, and permafrost have been primary characteristics of Canada's northern and alpine environments during the past two million years. The evolution of Canada's cultural landscapes, the processes of settlement of rural areas, and the present interaction of Canadian industrial society with its biophysical environment are all deeply influenced, directly or indirectly, by the frigidity of the greater part of the country. The phenomenon of global warming, if it occurs, will lessen this coldness, but its impact on temperature extremes, sea ice regimes,...

Steepland Geomorphology
ISBN: 9780471957522 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Steepland geomorphology concerns high gradient landscapes which are either tectonically active or influenced by volcanism and where there is a perceived close relationship between soils, incomplete vegetation cover, recent geomorphic processes and associated landforms. Such areas are difficult to manage because of their high variability in terms of natural stability and because of inadequate theory and models. This book, through thirteen independent steepland field investigations, illustrates the differing conceptual frameworks that are used at four different temporal scales of investigation....
