Morphotectonics

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the connection between geomorphology and neotectonics, this monograph provides a quantitative analysis of landscape evolution through the study of drainage systems, river courses, glacial forms, volcanic landscapes, and mass movements. It examines how joint orientations reveal neotectonic stresses, allowing for insights into the genesis of various morphological features. With data collected from six continents and numerous islands over 30 years, the author offers a comprehensive, first-hand account of global research in the field.
