Reviews recent advances in the interdisciplinary study of floods and their effects on landforms, sediments, human works, and populations. Covers the use of morphometric parameters of drainage basins and establishes standard procedures for measuring geomorphically significant variables following a major flood. Specific chapters present data on the neglected topic of sedimentation in bedrock fluvial systems, and discuss, from the viewpoint of Holocene stratigraphy, common alluvial systems leading to flood plains. Includes numerous photos, illustrations and diagrams of flood effects around the world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Overview.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e External Controls and Geomorphic Measurements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Flood Processes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Floods, Climate, Landscape.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Palefloods.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Environmental Management.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52502988456216,"sku":"9780471625582","price":386.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471625582.jpg?v=1786322598","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/flood-geomorphology-paperback-softback-9780471625582","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
