Planetary surface processes
By: Melosh, H. Jay.
Series: Cambridge planetary science ; / edited by Fran Bagenal. Publisher: Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2011Description: xviii, 499p.ISBN: 9780521514187.Subject(s): Planets -- Surfaces | GeomorphologyDDC classification: 559.92 | M49 Summary: Planetary Surface Processes is the first advanced textbook to cover the full range of geologic processes that shape the surfaces of planetary-scale bodies. Using a modern, quantitative approach, this book reconsiders geologic processes outside the traditional terrestrial context. It highlights processes that are contingent upon Earth's unique circumstances and processes that are universal. For example, it shows explicitly that equations predicting the velocity of a river are dependent on gravity: traditional geomorphology textbooks| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
