Geomorphology and geological surface processes

Understanding Sea-Level Rise and Variability identifies the major impacts of sea-level rise, presents up-to-date assessments of past sea-level change, thoroughly explores all of the factors contributing to sea-level rise, and explores how sea-level extreme events might change.

Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions of years.

The movement of sediment and associated pollutants over the landscape and into water bodies is of increasing concern with respect to pollution control, prevention of muddy floods and environmental protection.

Sedimentary Environments is one of the most distinguished and influential textbooks in the earth sciences published in the last 20 years.

Earth Surface Processes is an introductory text for those studying the dynamics of fluid and sediment transport in the environments, in the context of both present-day patterns as well as the environmental changes decipherable in the geological record.

Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin, geometry, water flow, sediment transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains, how they vary in time and space, and how this information is used to interpret deposits of ancient rivers and floodplains.

This first IAS Special Publication contains the oral presentations from a special symposium on pelagic sediments held in Zurich in 1973.

The Almer a Province of SE Spain, a semi-arid, tectonically active region, is the focus of a wide range of scientific teaching and research in the earth sciences by universities and associated bodies from around the world.

Studies of aeolian sediments, both ancient and modern, have exhibited a number of important conceptual advances in recent years.

This is the first book to investigate the structure, origin and evolution of carbonate mud-mounds.

This IAS Special Publication contains 23 papers presented at the 3rd International Research Symposium on Modern and Ancient Clastic Tidal Deposits.

The study of palaeoweathering provides vital clues about past continental environments, the correlation of sedimentary deposits and processes such as the rate and timing of uplift and erosion.

Understanding of rivers and their sediments, both as modern systems and as ancient counterparts in the geological record, has progressed steadily but markedly over the past several decades, with contributions by practitioners in diverse fields of geosciences and engineering.

The aim of this publication is the understanding of large floods and their impact on the Earth's surface.

IAS Special Publication 35, Fluvial Sedimentology VII, comprises of a series of peer-reviewed papers that were initially presented at the 7th International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology, held in Lincoln, Nebraska on August 6-10, 2001.

Sedimentology Review is a new series of books edited by the Postgraduate Research Institute of Sedimentology (PRIS) and published by Blackwell Scientific Publications.

The proceedings of the 4th Symposium on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics offers the latest research results concerning quantitative modelling of the interaction of water and sediment and the shapes this interaction makes in rivers, watersheds, estuaries, the coast, the continental shelf and the deep sea.

This Brief analyses and discusses the laterites in the Bengal Basin.

The Brazilian Northeast, comprising 1,600,000 km2 and nine States (Alagoas, Bahia, Ceara, Maranhao, Paraiba, Pernambuco, Piaui, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe), has an enormous diversity of geomorphological landscapes.

Wind erosion occurs in many arid, semiarid and agricultural areas of the world.

About one-third of the Earth's land surface experiences a desert climate, and this area supports approximately 15% of the planet's population.

This book focuses on sediments as a pollutant in natural freshwater and marine habitats, and as a vector for the transfer of chemicals such as nutrients and contaminants.

Few subjects have caught the attention of the entire world as much as those dealing with natural hazards.

Estuaries occur along many of the world's coastlines irrespective of geologic setting, energy regime, and depositional environment.
