The book commences with a number of research studies and review chapters on weathering processes and weathered products. This is followed by several discussions of the weathering of cut or dressed rock in urban and coastal environments. Contributors then examine the application of weathering and weathering rates to the dating of deposits or rock surfaces. The final section of the book comprises studies of the relationship between weathering and landforms in a variety of climatic environments. The contributions included in this book cover a wide range of topics and demonstrate the many advances that are being made by researchers investigating rock weathering. Some of the studies deal with state-of-the-art technology, others the very traditional geomorphological skills of observation and deductive reasoning, backed up as necessary by statistical analysis. This volume is the first collection of papers on weathering published for many years, and provides a wealth of information not just to geomorphologists but also to geologists, engineers, architects and archaeologists.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Preface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Advances in Rock Weathering studies xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 1 Weathering Processes 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 2 Weathering of Building Stones 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 3 Weathering Surfaces and Dating 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 4 Weathering and Landform Development in Tropical and Arid Environments 285\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 5 Weathering and Landform Development in Temperate Enviornments 369\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 6 Weathering and Landform Development in High Latitutde and High Altitude Environments 453\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeographical Index 505\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubject Index 511 \u003c\/p\u003e\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","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298075701528,"sku":"9780471951193","price":470.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471951193.jpg?v=1781734757","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rock-weathering-and-landform-evolution-hardback-9780471951193","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
