ENGINEERING GEOMORPHOLOGY

The book you have in your hands offers a comprehensive overview of concepts and practices in engineering geomorphology aimed at Master's students in engineering geology and geotechnics. It presents in a structured way the main theoretical and methodological knowledge needed to analyze the risks associated with landslides erosion landslides and flooding. Using case studies and a didactic approach the book guides the reader through the mechanisms of slope stability the interpretation of landforms and soil stabilization methods. Designed as an educational tool it enables future engineers to acquire the skills needed to assess prevent and manage geomorphological risks in a variety of contexts. It is also aimed at engineering professionals wishing to perfect their approach to the problems associated with land instability and natural risk management.
