Urban geomorphology : landforms and processes in cities
Contributor(s): Thornbush, Mary J. [ed.] | Allen, Casey D. [ed.].
Publisher: Amsterdam Elsevier 2018Description: xi, 349p.ISBN: 9780128119518.Subject(s): Geomorphology | Urban geologyDDC classification: 551.41 | Ur1 Summary: Urban Geomorphology: Landforms and Processes in Cities addresses the human impacts on landscapes through occupation (urbanization) and development as a contribution to anthropogenic geomorphology or "anthropogeomorphology." This includes a focus on land clearance, conservation issues, pollution, decay and erosion, urban climate, and anthropogenic climate change. These topics, as well as others, are considered to shed more light on the human transformation of natural landscapes and the environmental impacts and geomorphological hazards that environmental change can encompass. Its multidisciplinary approach is appropriate for audiences from a range of disciplines and professions, from geologists, conservationists, and land-use planners to architects and developers. Urban Geomorphology not only transcends disciplines, but also covers varied spatial-temporal frameworks and presents a diverse set of approaches and solutions to human impacts and geomorphological hazards within urban landscapes.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
