Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains

William B. Bull

With a balance of theory and practical applications, Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains is essential reading for research geologists and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the earth sciences. <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> </li> <li>This book describes how tectonic events influence geomorphic processes and explores how landscapes respond to tectonic deformation in the ways in which they are weathered, washed, and abraded </li> <li>Uses new approaches to enhance theoretical models of landscape evolution and to solve practical problems such as the assessment of earthquake hazards </li> <li>Includes previously unpublished research and theory </li> <li>Examines how to use key landforms as reference levels in changing landscapes, estimate rates of mountain-range uplift, and map seismic shaking caused by prehistorical earthquakes </li> <li>Presents a diverse range of examples from around the world</li> </ul>
