Soil Geomorphology

By Raymond B. Daniels

Book Overview

Provides readers with the fundamentals necessary for a basic understanding of the soil landscape. Divided into three major sections, it covers stratigraphy, geomorphology, hydrology, and the ways in which these geologic processes shape the landscape. Early chapters cover the textural characteristics of soil materials, fluvial systems, hillslope sediments and transitional environments. Later chapters explore volcanics, saprolite, the evolutionary process of landscapes, rates of denudation, streams, hillslope processes and mass movement. Included at the end of the chapters are lists of references, figures, tables and additional reading sources.

Good Geomorph Book

This is a fairly comprehensive text that is useful for the professional as well as the graduate student interested in rounding out their personal library. I have used this book frequently over the past three years working on projects in the Pacific Northwest and California. The price is a bit high but worth it.
