This book is a comprehensive introduction to the field of geomorphology. It is intended for students pursuing a degree in earth sciences, geography, environmental studies, or related fields at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is also a valuable source for professionals who work in fields related to geomorphology, such as land use planning, natural hazards assessment, and environmental consulting.
While taking the aforementioned information into account, the subject matter of the current book has been divided into 16 chapters and various geomorphological issues are covered, viz. theoretical geomorphology (Nature of geomorphology, fundamental concepts, theories related to earth’s interior and exterior), weathering and mass movement, systematic or process geomorphology (fluvial, karst, aeolian, glacier geomorphology, applied geomorphology) have been discussed.
