Description for Earth Surface Processes
Paperback. * The pioneering textbook on the "new sedimentology". * One of the first textbooks to adopt the Earth Systems approach to geology, developed at Penn State and Stanford. * Should reinvigorate more traditional courses in physical sedimentology and dynamical sedimentology. Num Pages: 416 pages, 160 illustrations. BIC Classification: RBGD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 243 x 191 x 26. Weight in Grams: 844.
Earth Surface Processes is an introductory text for those studying the dynamics of fluid and sediment transport in the environments, in the context of both present-day patterns as well as the environmental changes decipherable in the geological record. The book is divided into two parts. The first deals with the global-scale aspects of the earth's surface system. The second part focuses on the physical underpinnings for fluid and sediment transport in a number of settings, found at the earth's surface and in its oceans.
