Tectonic Geomorphology A Frontier in Earth Science

Tectonic Geomorphology reviews the fundamentals of the subject which include the nature of faulting and folding, the creation and use of geomorphic markers for tracing deformation, chronological techniques which date deformation, geodetic techniques for defining recent deformation, and paleoseismologic approaches to calibrate past deformation. The overall focus of this book is on new interpretations of landform evolution and insights on the interplay between surface processes and tectonics that emerge from integrative studies. The authors have developed an up-to-date interpretation of landscapes in tectonically active environments for upper-level undergraduate and graduate earth science students and practicing geologists.Burbank, Douglas W. is the author of 'Tectonic Geomorphology A Frontier in Earth Science', published 2000 under ISBN 9780632043866 and ISBN 0632043865.
