Five primary methods have been used to reconstruct Pleistocene snowlines or equilibrium-
line altitudes (ELAs) in the tropics (23.5° N–23.5° S) during the last glaciation, but each has …

A first account of the Quaternary glacial history is presented for northwest Garhwal, Central
Himalaya. On the basis of sediments and landforms, one glacial stage has been recognised …

Of the numerous kinds of dams that form by natural processes, dams formed from landslides,
glacial ice, and late-neoglacial moraines present the greatest threat to people and property …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

The plate tectonics revolution in the earth sciences has provided a valuable new framework
for understanding long-term landform development. This innovative text provides a …

The mass-balance characteristics of glaciers in high-mountain environments complicate the
relationship between glacier equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) and climatic variables such as …

To date erosion scientists have failed to address—or have addressed inadequately—some
of the 'big questions' of our discipline. For example, where is erosion occurring? Why is it …

Atmospheric and climatological studies are becoming more and more important in day-to-
day living. Winds and ocean current owe their existence to the thermodynamic imbalances …

Preliminary results of a quantitative model of glacial abrasion are presented. The analysis,
which is constructed within a framework of modern glaciological views of processes near to …

Earth Surface Processes is an introductory text for those studying the dynamics of fluid and
sediment transport in the environments, in the context of both present-day patterns as well …
