Earth Surface Processes Landforms and Sediment Deposits

Earth surface processes landforms and sediment deposits are intimately related - involving erosion of rocks generation of sediment and transport and deposition of sediment through various Earth surface environments. These processes and the landforms and deposits that they generate have a fundamental bearing on engineering environmental and public safety issues; on recovery of economic resources; and on our understanding of Earth history. This unique textbook brings together the traditional disciplines of sedimentology and geomorphology to explain Earth surface processes landforms and sediment deposits in a comprehensive and integrated way. It is the ideal resource for a two-semester course in sedimentology stratigraphy geomorphology and Earth surface processes from the intermediate undergraduate to beginning graduate level. The book is also accompanied by a website hosting illustrations and material on field and laboratory methods for measuring describing and analyzing Earth surface processes landforms and sediments.
