Inhalt:
This scholarly work, edited by Achim A. Beylich and others, examines the impact of climate change and human activities on Earth's surface processes during the Anthropocene. It provides an in-depth analysis of environmental changes, geomorphic processes, and landform alterations driven by anthropogenic and natural factors. The book discusses various earth surface processes, including glacial, periglacial, aeolian, and coastal processes, and explores their implications in different regions. It also offers strategies for sustainable management and mitigation of these impacts. Intended for researchers, practitioners, and students in environmental science and geography, the book aims to enhance understanding of the complex interactions between climate, human activity, and earth systems.
