Geomorphology has undergone a dramatic change in scope and philosophy over the last several decades. It has expanded from focusing merely on the evolutionary development of landforms to being a more applied discipline, linked with others in solving problems associated with global change and environmental stress. Today's students must understand the processes involved in landform creation. Even those examining the subject historically need to grasp surficial process mechanics before analyzing the effects of past climatic or tectonic phenomena or predicting those of the future. Process Geomorphology provides an accessible introduction to the subject and assumes only a minimal background in physical or historical geology. Whether approaching geomorphology from the perspective of hydrology, engineering, geology, pedology, forestry, or any other earth science, the process approach makes this text a practical choice. A wealth of photos and diagrams aids in understanding the concepts presented in the text. The authors include an extensive bibliography for readers who wish to pursue a particular topic in greater depth.
