Fluvial Geomorphology, the study of riverine landforms and the processes that produce them, is a discipline of synthesis, with roots in geology, geography, and river engineering, and which draws upon allied fields of hydrology, chemistry, physics, ecology, and human and natural history. Thanks largely to these roots, the range of tools used in the field is exceptionally diverse, with most tools borrowed from these allied fields, and some tools developed within fluvial geomorphology. However, individual researchers and practitioners typically apply only tools with which they are already familiar, usually the methods used by their home discipline.
This book presents a comprehensive review of the tools used in Fluvial Geomorphology, at a level suitable to guide selection of research method for the researcher or graduate student in fluvial geomorphology, or for the professional in other fields of river management.
Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology focuses on geomorphological methods within which techniques are applied. The chapters are written by specialists in the field, and are oriented to providing guidance into how to approach problems and how to select appropriate tools to answer the questions posed. Because the choice of tool should follow from the question posed, this book presents tools in the context of geomorphological questions.
This book:
This handbook is essential for researchers and professional geomorphologists, hydrologists, geologists, ecologists, engineers and planners, and professional organisations. It is a useful supplementary textbook for upper level undergraduate and MSc courses in Fluvial Geomorphology and Catchment Management taught within Departments of Geography, Environmental Science and Geology, Ecology, Environmental Planning, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and allied fields.
