Active Tectonics and Alluvial Rivers

Zusammenfassung This volumes brings together evidence from both field and experimental studies to demonstrate how rivers respond to uplift! subsidence and lateral tilting. This volume will be of interest to graduate students! consultants and academic researchers in geomorphology! sedimentology and stratigraphy! structural geology! hydrology! geophysics! geography! and river engineering.
