Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of papers from the 23rd Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium is intended to: 1. reevaluate the influence of systems theory in geomorphology; 2. explore links between traditional systems-oriented approaches and contemporary applications of nonlinear dynamical systems theory in geomorphology; and 3. present cutting-edge examples of the analysis of geomorphic systems. Contributions encompass hillslope, fluvial, coastal, aeolian, and tectonic geomorphology. This volume should be of interest to geomorphologists, physical geographers, and geologists, as well as to other earth and environmental scientists who deal with landscapes and earth surface systems.
