About this title

Review

Review of the hardback: 'I highly recommend this volume to any geoscientist interested in the present and future of our planet ...' Geologos

Review of the hardback: '... a benchmark text for its subject and it highlights a topic that is of critical importance for humankind.' The Holocene

'... I would like to specifically commend the reconstructions of ice sheets in the chapter on ice sheets and ice caps. There are also many good conceptual model diagrams. Overall, this is a really good reference work. It should have a place on the shelves of most practising geomorphologists and graduate students.' James Shulmeister, University of Queensland

Book Description

This volume provides a benchmark statement from the world's leading geomorphologists on the state of, and potential changes to, the environment. Focusing on catalysts of landscape change other than climate, including relief, hydroclimate, sea-level variations and human activity, it is valuable for advanced students, researchers, policymakers and environmental managers.
