内容简介

Geomorphology: A Canadian Perspective brings a wealth of Canadian examples to bear on the scientific study of landforms, landscapes and Earth-surface processes. This comprehensive text is designed for undergraduate students at a variety of levels and introduces them to the two-pronged analytical study of geomorphology: process and history. The latter form of analysis has increased in importance in recent years as scientists use data to determine the degree of climate change experienced on the planet over time. Chapters include discussions of weathering, slope movement, glaciers, wind and water transport, coastlines, karst and the human dimensions of landform change and formation.
