Fundamentals of Geomorphology Richard Huggett and Emma Shuttleworth is an English-language textbook for higher education and professionals. It thoroughly covers the processes and forms of the Earth’s surface from a systems-based approach.
The book describes the latest insights in the field, with attention to landscapes shaped by process and form. Topics such as structural landforms, plate tectonics, volcanism, and processes involving ice and meltwater are covered extensively. Also discussed are exogenic processes such as weathering, flowing water, wind, and the sea, as well as landscapes on limestone and extraterrestrial landforms.
This edition is richly illustrated with more than 200 colorful diagrams and photos and includes additional learning aids such as chapter summaries, an extensive glossary, and online support for students and lecturers. It therefore provides a clear and up-to-date overview of the field of geomorphology.
The book fits well with disciplines such as geomorphology and geological surface processes and earth sciences, and is part of the Routledge Fundamentals of Physical Geography collection.
