Geomorphology, the discipline which analyzes the history and nature of the earth's surface, deals with the landforms produced by erosion, weathering, deposition, transport and tectonic processes. In recent decades there have been major developments in the discipline and these are reflected in this major Encyclopedia, the first such reference work in the field to be published for thirty-five years. Encyclopedia of Geomorphology has been produced in association with the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) and has a truly global perspective. The entries have been written by an international editorial team of contributors, drawn from over thirty countries, who are all among the leading experts in the discipline. In two lavishly illustrated volumes, Encyclopedia contains nearly 700 alphabetically organized entries to provide a comprehensive guide both to specific landforms and to the major types of geomorphological processes that create them. The Encyclopedia also demonstrates the major developments that have taken place in recent years in our knowledge of tectonic and climatic changes and in the use of new techniques such as modelling, remote sensing and process measurement. Older concepts, however, are not forgotten and provide an historical perspective on the development of ideas. Both accessible and authoritative, Encyclopedia of Geomorphology is destined to become the definitive resource for students, researchers and applied practitioners in the field of geomorphology and the cognate disciplines of geography, earth science, sedimentology and environmental science.

Knowledge has no limits and everyone has the opportunity to gain it and expand the view and horizon of understanding. Nothing in this world remains permanent, everything changes. Hence the field of morphology of the Earth (geomorphology) provides a basis for exploring, understanding and comprehending the forms and processes that occur in our surrounding. This book presents some of the ideas and understanding about geomorphology: 1) Learn about the effect of deforestation and then reforestation on river channel morphology. 2) Understand the composite mathematical modelling for continuous simulations of hydro-geomorphological processes. 3) Know about the process-response models for estimation of cliff erosion and its quantitative predictions. 4) Grow your knowledge about various geomorphometric tools that are available in freely available GIS software.

Process and Form in Geomorphology marks a turning point in geomorphological research. Stoddart has brought together a team of the leading international experts to offer important new studies into the processes, theory and history of landforms, and to present a framework for taking research forward into the new millenium. Illustrated throughout, Process and Form in Geomorphology takes up the challenges of the research agenda set by Richard Chorley and offers fresh insights into his unique contribution.

`Geomorphology is alive and well` was one verdict recorded after the 1976 conference of the British Geomorphological Research Group. The sixteen conference papers which prompted this verdict are reproduced in this volume. They were commissioned from distinguished scholars in Britain, Europe, Australia and America in order to provide a general survey of the state of geomorophological studies.

Discusses a broad spectrum of topics in current modelling research in hillslope and river channel processes. The book is designed to provide a coherent basis for understanding the potential range of modelling activity within hillslope and channel process investigations and to give readers an appreciation of the modelling challenges that still remain. Topics cover research in specific areas of process study, including equilibrium, mathematical, network, and flow process models. Also discussed are alternative modelling approaches within specific fields, model validation and verification, and the development of computer simulation as a significant and established element in geomorphological investigations.

The papers of the Festschrift either follow lines of research in landform analysis and modelling that have attracted Frank Ahnert's interest (papers 1-6) or are directly related to his work (papers 7-11). There are two soil erosion studies, one concerning the short-term evolution of gully microsteps and scour channels (Bryan & Oostwood-Wijdenes), the other the long-term formation of badlands using a well established erosional susceptibility model (De Ploey). Yair addresses the effects of climatic change at the desert fringe and shows that depending on internal system conditions a wetter climate does not necessarily cause a more humid local environment. In a methodological study Jungerius and Schoonderbeek investigate blowout development in coastal dunes. Both in empirical and modelling approaches badland slope profile evolution has almost exclusively been studied without considering the formative importance of mass movements. De Lugt & Campbell draw the attention to the role of mass movement processes in slope development in one of the most thoroughly investigated badland areas, the Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. Most research in fluvial geomorphology has been focussed on alluvial channels. Little is known about the processes of channel incision into bedrock. In their study Seidl & Dietrich put the emphasis on vertical erosion by streamflow and abrasion, debris flow scour and knickpoint recession in bedrock channels. The first paper directly referring to Frank Ahnert's work is Olav Slaymaker's attempt to reconcile Ahnert's process-response models with a sediment storage approach based on empirical findings from the Canadian Cordillera. It becomes clear that Ahnert has never attempted to model fluvial systems with a disequilibrium state caused by a glacial or other non-fluvial heritage and has never emphasized examples where large-scale alluvial storage is important. Choosing the example of the classic geomorphological study area of the Henry Mountains in Utah, Schmidt's contribution tries to demonstrate that, using the terminology of Frank Ahnert's 1988-paper on landform change, no eksystemic variations of climate or tectonism are needed to effect changes in system conditions. Ensystemic attributes alone can control changing equilibrium states. It is shown that Gilbert's dynamic equilibrium concept helps to explain complex evolutionary aspects in historical geomorphology. Also in Ergenzinger & Schmidt's paper the ensystemic character of landform change is emphasized. A soil erosion model, originally designed to determine soil erosion budgets in response to short-term events, is used to simulate long-term slope evolution. This idea was inspired by Frank Ahnert's 1987-statement that process-response models yield valid results of denudation regardless of the time scale involved. Kirkby presents an erosion-limited hillslope evolution model as a generalization for both transport and supply limited conditions. A wide range of processes is represented in the model with the possibility of distinction between rainsplash, rainflow and rillwash. Cox refers to Frank Ahnert's magnitude-frequency morphoclimatic concept. He questions whether gamma distributions, recently much applied to hydro-geomorphological problems, may not be more suitable for describing the distributions of empirical precipitation data.
