This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sinuous form and peculiar evolution of meandering rivers has long captured the imagination of people. Today, meandering rivers exist in some of the most densely populated areas in the World, where they provide environmental and economic wealth and opportunities, as well as posing hazards. Through geological time, the ancestors of these modern meanders built deposits that are now host to mineral resources, groundwater, and hydrocarbons. This Special Publication illustrates the breadth of current research on meandering rivers and their deposits. The collection of research papers demonstrates the state of science on fluvial process–product relationships. The articles cover fundamental and applied studies of both modern and ancient rivers, are based on state-of-the-art technology, include complementary philosophical approaches, and span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This book includes some of the most recent advances in the study of the morphodynamics and sedimentology of meandering rivers, and is an important resource for those who want to investigate fluvial systems and their deposits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay betweentectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regionsof active deformation. Recent advances in the quantification ofrates and physical basis of tectonic and surface processes haverejuvenated the field of tectonic geomorphology. Modern tectonicgeomorphology is an exciting and highly integrative field whichutilizes techniques and data derived from studies of geomorphology,seismology, geochronology, structure, geodesy, and Quaternaryclimate change. While emphasizing new insights from the last decadeof research, Tectonic Geomorphology reviews the fundamentals of thesubject which include the nature of faulting and folding, thecreation and use of geomorphic markers for tracing deformation,chronological techniques which date deformation, geodetictechniques for defining recent deformation, and paleoseismologicapproaches to calibrate past deformation. The overall focus of this book is on new interpretations oflandform evolution and insights on the interplay between surfaceprocesses and tectonics that emerge from integrative studies. Theauthors have developed an up-to-date interpretation of landscapesin tectonically active environments for upper-level undergraduateand graduate earth science students and practicinggeologists.

Includes the latest technological advances used in dating:Uranium series and dating and observation. Emphasizes the role of surface processes. Focuses on landscapes at different time scales. Provides strong coverage on numerical modeling of tectonicallyactive landscapes. Presents the recent approaches to calibrating rates of upliftand erosion. Stresses the tectonics of active plate margins in a detailedyet succinct way. Contains "Chapter introductions," "Chapter summaries," and"References" that reinforce principles and theory as well asprovide additional background information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical geography of Earth is explained through the systems that shape the planet's lands, waters, and atmosphere. Written in an easy narrative style, each chapter combines text with more than 40 single-concept illustrations. The result is a distinctive design that weaves words and illustrations together into an integrated whole. The presentation is uncluttered to keep students focused on the main themes. An entire chapter is dedicated to climate change, its geographic origins, likely outcomes, and influence on other Earth systems. A distinctive illustration program includes summary diagrams at the end of chapters that recap concepts and reinforce the systems approach. Section summaries within chapters, along with end-of-chapter review points and questions, are provided to highlight key concepts and encourage thoughtful review of the material. The instructor's guidebook highlights the core concepts in each chapter and suggests strategies to advance a systems approach in teaching physical geography.

Book excerpt: In Meander Belt M. Randal O'Wain offers a reflection on how a working-class boy from Memphis, Tennessee, came to fall in love with language, reading, writing, and the larger world outside of the American South. This memoir examines what it means for the son of a carpenter to value mental rather than physical labor and what this does to his relationship with his family, whose livelihood and sensibility are decidedly blue collar. Straining the father-son bond further, O'Wain leaves home to find a life outside Memphis, roaming from place to place, finding odd jobs, and touring with his band. From memory and observation, O'Wain assembles a subtle and spare portrait of his roots, family, and ultimately discovers that his working-class upbringing is not so antithetical to the man he has become.
