Geomorphology for Engineers
This book presents a comprehensive view of geomorphology for engineers and other professionals involved in near-surface engineering problems associated with various landscapes.It is a key reference work for practitioners and academics in civil, geotechnical, foundation engineering, soil and rock mechanics and engineering geology. It will also appeal to post graduates in geomorphology, civil engineering and geohydrology; as well as practising physical geographers and geologists.
Geomorphology for Engineers
Geomorphological landforms and processes exert a strong influence on surface engineering works, yet comparatively little information on geomorphology is available to engineers. Thoroughly revised and with an improved format, this book presents a broad view of geomorphology, examining near-surface engineering problems associated with various landscapes. Self-contained chapters contributed by leading authorities first address the major factors that control the materials, form, and processes on the Earth's surface. The second section deals with the geomorphological processes that help shape land surfaces and influence their engineering characteristics, and the final section explore environments and landscapes.
Engineering Geomorphology
Includes basic concepts to explain the causes, mechanisms and consequences of landform change. Considers how the land surface works in the context of wetland, flatland, hills, mountains, rivers and coasts; and the engineering techniques available in the field, the laboratory, the office, and in remote sensing.
