{"product_id":"applied-geomorphology-isbn-9780471895558","title":"Applied Geomorphology","description":"This is the first book to bring together practical examples from around the world to show how geomorphological evidence can help in effective land utilisation and hazard risk assessment. Case studies provide important lessons in risk management, and experts provide summaries of current research. The text also promotes good practice and effective land use, and looks at problems caused by misuse of the environment and potential solutions based on geomorphological evidence.Erstmals wurden in diesem Buch praktische Beispiele geomorphologischer Daten aus der ganzen Welt zusammengetragen, um zu zeigen, wie sich mit Hilfe dieser Informationen präzise Vorschläge zur Landnutzung und zur Abschätzung von Katastrophenrisiken erarbeiten lassen. Fallstudien zeigen, wie sich Risiken erkennen lassen; Experten kommentieren jeweils den neuesten Stand der Forschung. Nicht zuletzt zeigt der Autor auch, wann man einen Missbrauch der Umwelt mit geomorphologischen Mitteln korrigieren kann.
