Rivers and Floodplains: Forms, Processes, and Sedimentary Record
()
About this ebook
Particular emphasis is placed on how an understanding of the nature of modern rivers and floodplains is required before any problems concerning rivers and floodplains, past or present, can be addressed rationally.
Rivers and Floodplains is designed as a core text for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying modern or ancient fluvial environments, particularly in earth sciences, environmental sciences and physical geography, but also in civil and agricultural engineering. College teachers, researchers, and practising professionals will also find the book an invaluable reference.
-
- Presents a process-based approach, which is relevant to modern curricula.
- Discusses methods of studying rivers and floodplains and their deposits.
