Geomorphology publishes peer-reviewed works across the full spectrum of the discipline from fundamental theory and science to applied research of relevance to sustainable management of the environment. Our journal's scope includes geomorphic themes of: past, present and future environmental changes;
geomorphology, scientific discipline concerned with the description and classification of the Earth’s topographic features. A brief treatment of geomorphology follows. For full treatment, see geology: Geomorphology. Much geomorphologic research has been devoted to the origin of landforms.
Geomorphology is the science of landforms, with an emphasis on their origin, evolution, form, and distribution across the physical landscape. Understanding geomorphology is therefore essential to understanding one of the most popular divisions of geography.
Geomorphology is the study of landforms and the processes that shape them. In essence, landforms reflect an interaction between Earth's tectonic framework and its atmospheric canopy, and the biota they both support.
Geomorphology is literally the study of the form or shape of the Earth, but it deals principally with the topographical features of the Earth’s surface. It is concerned with the classification, description, and origin of landforms.
Geomorphology is the study of landforms and landscapes on Earth and other planets, and the processes that shape them. This discipline is primarily concerned with the erosion and...
Geomorphology is the systematic study of landforms and the processes that form and change them. Geomorphology and its close ally, soil science, are major components of geoarchaeological practice today, and they were significant contributors to the emergence of the field of geoarchaeology.
Geomorphology is the study of the configuration and history of the surface of the earth and the processes that shape it. As a scientific discipline, its goals are to understand how and why the landscape has come to look the way it does, through an understanding of dynamic physical and chemical processes through time, and to predict how they ...
Examining natural and anthropogenic processes, The SAGE Handbook of Geomorphology is a comprehensive exposition of the fundamentals of geomorphology that examines form, process, and history in the discipline.
Wind tunnel experiments and numerical modelling reveal the existence of two distinct ripples on Earth: centimetre-scale impact ripples and decimetre-scale hydrodynamic ripples, akin to those in...
