Produktinformationen zu „Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains (PDF)“
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.
* * 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
* Uses new approaches to enhance theoretical models of landscape
evolution and to solve practical problems such as the assessment of
earthquake hazards
* Includes previously unpublished research and theory
* 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
* Presents a diverse range of examples from around the world

Autoren-Porträt von William B. Bull
William B. Bull is an applied geologist educated at Colorado and Stanford Universities. He worked 12 years for the US Geological Survey as an engineering geologist and groundwater hydrologist. Studies of collapsing soils and land subsidence were quite appealing, but he changed career goals by moving to the University of Arizona where he taught geomorphology for 28 years. He continues to study landscapes of rising mountains from the perspective of earthquake hazards.
