Geomorphology and Soils

<p>Soils and sediments influence current processes preserve evidence of past processes indicate evolutionary phases in landscapes and provide a basis for relative and absolute chronologies. They provide an important key to the integration of short-term process studies and investigation of longer-term landform evolution. 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. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in contributions from soil scientists engineering geologists hydrologists and geomorphologists.</p>
