Description
This book advances a typology of experimentation in the field science
of geomorphology -- the study of the form of the earth's surface
and the evolution of its relief. Commissioned by the International
Geographical Union, this work is the first to document different field
methodologies in geomorphology. The contributors are internationally
known geomorphologists from Canada, the United States, the United
Kingdom, and Japan. They review methods, global coverage, and advances
in understanding while at the same time promoting a more dynamic, more
relevant, and more applied science of earth surface change -- the
geomorphological aspects of global change.
Reviews
... the book is a gold mine for experimental geomorphology and its high price should not keep professional geomorphologists from buying the book.

The well-prepared and well-edited text is illustrated with excellent line drawings and photographs.
