Sediment Cascades: An Integrated Approach provides a
comprehensive overview that addresses the transport of sediment
through the landscape. Suitable for academic researchers, industry
practitioners, research students and advanced level undergraduates,
seeking detailed knowledge and an up-to-date review of the recent
research literature. The emphasis is on contemporary sediment
system dynamics with relevance both to landscape management and
landform development.
Sediment Cascades: An Integrated Approach begins with an
explanation of the need for an integrated approach to sediment
delivery systems and introduces the main themes of sediment
production, delivery, storage and transfer. Further chapters then
focus on specific environments from mountains, through floodplains,
to estuaries and the continental shelf.
