Rock Weathering and Landform Evolution

Incorporating a series of studies on rock weathering by leading researchers, this volume illustrates the diversity of approaches and techniques currently used by geomorphologists to study weathering processes and responses. It begins with a number of research studies and review chapters on weathering processes and weathered products. This is followed by discussion of the weathering of cut or dressed rock in urban and coastal environments. The contributors then examine the application of weathering rates to the dating of deposits or rock surfaces. The final section of the text is comprised of studies of the relationship between weathering and landforms in a variety of climatic environments.
