Book Synopsis Géomorphologie by : Raoul Etongué Mayer
Download or read book Géomorphologie written by Raoul Etongué Mayer and published by Montréal : Guérin. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La géomorphologie n'a pas été en marge des grandes transformations qui ont affecté les sciences de la Terre au cours des trois dernières décennies. La tectonique des plaques, la télédétection spatiale, la sonde marine et la navigation interplanétaire ont permis non seulement d'accumuler des données sur ce qui se passe sur la surface de la Terre et sur celle des autres planètes du système solaire, mais aussi d'améliorer la compréhension qu'on a des formes du relief et de leur évolution. Une bonne partie des travaux géomorphologiques réalisés entre 1970 et 1990 a notamment porté sur la dynamique externe et les modelés, ce qui relève par ailleurs de la fidélité au fondement de la géomorphologie. En tenant compte de la révolution qui a eu lieu dans les sciences de la Terre au cours des années 70, les géomorphologues ont donné une perspective intégrante à l'interprétation des faits géomorphologiques autrefois étudiés isolément. L'espace géomorphologique observé sur les images satellites soulève la curiosité et l'émerveillement. Elles permettent d'appréhender les faits géomorphologiques dans leur globalité qui conduit souvent le géomorphologue sur les traces de la découverte. Écrit dans un langage simple, conformément à la démarche géographique, ce livre a pour vocation de présenter la géomorphologie à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à cette science de la Terre. Selon une approche thématique, il fait l'étude des reliefs et de leur évolution dans leur contexte environnemental en insistant sur les rapports entre principes, formes et processus. Il présente au lecteur les méthodes, la pratique et l'utilité sociale de la géomorphologie. Cette manière de procéder tranche avec celle utilisée dans les ouvrages disponibles sur le marché. Voilà en soi une innovation remarquable. Le présent livre comprend seize chapitres. Le chapitre 1 traite des considérations générales, des approches et des principes. Le chapitre 2 fait l'étude de la Terre comme planète ainsi que de l'évolution des idées explicatives et des formes associées à sa dynamique interne. Au chapitre 3, il est question des volumes rocheux d'origine volcanique et intrusive et des formes qui leur sont associées. Le chapitre 4 porte sur les volumes rocheux sédimentaires et les formes afférentes, alors que le chapitre 5 aborde les volumes rocheux métamorphiques ainsi que leurs formes de relief. La dynamique externe et son impact sur les volumes rocheux sont étudiés au chapitre 6. Le chapitre 7, quant à lui, traite des processus fluviaux et des formes qui leur sont associées. Les actions des glaciers et les processus périglaciaires ont été traités dans les chapitres 8 et 9. Suivent les chapitres 10 à 16, où l'on examine les processus éoliens et les formes associées, la géomorphologie karstique, les environnements littoraux, la géomorphologie tropicale, la géomorphologie appliquée, les techniques et méthodes de recherche en géomorphologie et, enfin, la géomorphologie interplanétaire.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Geomorphology by : Alistair F. Pitty
Download or read book Introduction to Geomorphology written by Alistair F. Pitty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of landforms is becoming increasingly scientific. This book, first published in 1971, attempts to do justice to the work done in the last few decades, but strives to avoid a too uncritical acceptance of contemporary trends. The author first examines the fundamental characteristics and basic postulates of geomorphology. He then seeks to define the systematic stages through which the study of the landforms of a given area might proceed. Examples are drawn from a wide geographical range with emphasis on presenting examples of actual observations and measurements. The final section presents concise descriptions of simple and inexpensive methods of acquiring field data in landform study.
Book Synopsis Theoretical Geomorphology by : Adrian E. Scheidegger
Download or read book Theoretical Geomorphology written by Adrian E. Scheidegger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface features of the Earth are commonly split into two cate gories, the first of which comprises those features that are due to processes occurring inside the solid Earth (endogenetic features) and the second those that are due to processes occurring outside the solid Earth (exogenetic features). Specifically, the endogenetic features are treated in the science of geodynamics, the exogenetic features in the science of geomorphology. I have treated the theoretical aspects of the endogenetic features in my "Principles of Geodynamics", and it is my aim to supplement my earlier book with a discussion of the theory of the exogenetic features. It is my hope that the two books will together present a reasonably coherent, if necessarily incomplete, account of theoretical geology. Contrary to endogenetic phenomena, exogenetic processes can often be directly observed as they occur: the action of a river, the development of a slope and the evolution of a shore platform are all sufficiently rapid so that they can be seen as they take place. This has the result that in geomorphology one is generally on much less speculative ground regard ing the mechanics of the processes at work than one is in geodynamics.
Download or read book Treatise on Geomorphology written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 6392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing focus and approach of geomorphic research suggests that the time is opportune for a summary of the state of discipline. The number of peer-reviewed papers published in geomorphic journals has grown steadily for more than two decades and, more importantly, the diversity of authors with respect to geographic location and disciplinary background (geography, geology, ecology, civil engineering, computer science, geographic information science, and others) has expanded dramatically. As more good minds are drawn to geomorphology, and the breadth of the peer-reviewed literature grows, an effective summary of contemporary geomorphic knowledge becomes increasingly difficult. The fourteen volumes of this Treatise on Geomorphology will provide an important reference for users from undergraduate students looking for term paper topics, to graduate students starting a literature review for their thesis work, and professionals seeking a concise summary of a particular topic. Information on the historical development of diverse topics within geomorphology provides context for ongoing research; discussion of research strategies, equipment, and field methods, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations reflect the multiple approaches to understanding Earth’s surfaces; and summaries of outstanding research questions highlight future challenges and suggest productive new avenues for research. Our future ability to adapt to geomorphic changes in the critical zone very much hinges upon how well landform scientists comprehend the dynamics of Earth’s diverse surfaces. This Treatise on Geomorphology provides a useful synthesis of the state of the discipline, as well as highlighting productive research directions, that Educators and students/researchers will find useful. Geomorphology has advanced greatly in the last 10 years to become a very interdisciplinary field. Undergraduate students looking for term paper topics, to graduate students starting a literature review for their thesis work, and professionals seeking a concise summary of a particular topic will find the answers they need in this broad reference work which has been designed and written to accommodate their diverse backgrounds and levels of understanding Editor-in-Chief, Prof. J. F. Shroder of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, is past president of the QG&G section of the Geological Society of America and present Trustee of the GSA Foundation, while being well respected in the geomorphology research community and having won numerous awards in the field. A host of noted international geomorphologists have contributed state-of-the-art chapters to the work. Readers can be guaranteed that every chapter in this extensive work has been critically reviewed for consistency and accuracy by the World expert Volume Editors and by the Editor-in-Chief himself No other reference work exists in the area of Geomorphology that offers the breadth and depth of information contained in this 14-volume masterpiece. From the foundations and history of geomorphology through to geomorphological innovations and computer modelling, and the past and future states of landform science, no "stone" has been left unturned!

Book Synopsis The Nature of Geomorphology by : Alistair F. Pitty
Download or read book The Nature of Geomorphology written by Alistair F. Pitty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this re-evaluation of the basic postulates of geomorphology, first published in 1982, Alistair Pitty examines the subject within its scientific context, arguing that coherence in geomorphology can be demonstrated despite the many apparent divergences, which should themselves be regarded as poles within a spectrum of opinion. Not least, the particularly geological and geographical aspects of geomorphology are carefully identified and explained within this coherence.

Book excerpt: Volume 33 of Geographers Biobibliographical Studies adds significantly to the corpus of scholarship on geography's multiple histories and biographies with six essays on individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography in the twentieth century. This volume focuses on European geographers, including essays on individuals from Britain, France and Hungary. These are individuals who have made important and distinctive contributions to a diverse range of fields, including cartography, physical geography, oceanography and urban theory. As with previous volumes, these biographical essays demonstrate the importance of geographers' lives in terms of the lived experience of geography in practise.
Book Synopsis Environmental Geomorphology by : Mario Panizza
Download or read book Environmental Geomorphology written by Mario Panizza and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-11-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomorphology has now reached a certain level where the methodology, scientific content and resultsbeing published in the field make it worthy of being considered as a major environmental researcharea.In preparing Environmental Geomorphology, the author has given priority to methodology and illustrative case-histories. Schemes and classifications that would be ill-suited fora naturalistic, empirical and non-systematic discipline like geomorphology have been avoided.The concepts outlined in the text are based on a subdivision of geomorphological resources andhazards (as well as their links with man) together with the consequent risk and impactproblems.Each investigation, study or intervention concerning the environment, cannot ignoreeither the human context in which it occurs or man's history and prospects. It is necessary to have theright dialogue and relationship with the other disciplines making up this system so as to apply the mostsuitable methodologies and offer the most valid solutions.For some subjects covered in the book, specialists concerned with a particular section of environmental geomorphology were consulted. The text of eachchapter is accompanied by several illustrative schemes, figures and photographs, derived from realresearch and professional experiences.The volume is addressed both to university students studying topics of geomorphology as part of their syllabus, and to researchers and consultants(geologists, geographers, engineers, naturalists, etc.) working in the field.
Book Synopsis Climatic Geomorphology by : M. Gutierrez Elorza
Download or read book Climatic Geomorphology written by M. Gutierrez Elorza and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-12-29 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past few decades climatic geomorphology has been substantially enlarged in knowledge, thanks to numerous detailed investigations, the application of a large number of techniques, and the acquisition of abundant absolute dates. The challenge of predicting the effects of the prophesied future global warming on morphogenetic processes and landforms has encouraged geomorphologists to study the Late Pleistocene and Holocene climatic changes from the geomorphological and geological record. The advances achieved in the field of climatic geomorphology during the past years are reflected by the publication of several specific monographs about the different morphoclimatic zones. The aim of this book is to provide an up-to-date general view of this branch of geomorphology. It includes a chapter on applied geomorphology for each morphoclimatic zone providing an approximation of the main environmental problems. Geoscientists, geomorphologists
