Geomorphological Field Mapping

摘要: Abstract This chapter discusses the principles and applications of geomorphological field mapping, using areas upland terrain for example, where presence well-defined landforms either demonstrates ongoing geomorphic activity associated with specific process–response systems or relates to former operation cold climate processes past change. In such environments, landform assemblages can be linked together through landsystems, which describe spatial temporal relationships distinctive sediment that correspond different formational environments regimes. Geomorphological mapping is therefore an important technique in identifying interpreting landscape patterns geohazards, determining sensitivity landscapes external forcing by change human activity.
