内容説明
Periglacial geomorphology is concerned with the landforms and processes which occur in cold non-glacial regions. These regions are becoming more important because of the need to exploit their natural resources, so that oil and mining industries require periglacial geomorphologists on their staff. This book presents a review of the present status of periglacial geomorphology as reflected through a series of themes, including weathering and sediment transport, active layer processes, process-form relationships and broad aspects of the periglacial system. The focus is firmly on the achievements of the last decade, and spans representative examples of European and North American work. International co-operation has been excellent in producing a valuable contribution to the literature.
