Reviews

Notwithstanding this, I strongly recommend to have 'Tectonic Geomorphology' on one's bookshelf. It will be of particular value to the young generation of geoscientists, wondering which research direction to go. They will get first-class food-for-thought. ( Geologos , 2012)


Author Information

Douglas Burbank is a tectonic geomorphologist who investigates the growth of mountains and evolution of landscapes primarily in collisional mountain belts, ranging from New Zealand’s Southern Alps to the Tien Shan and the Andes.  He has focused on interactions among mountain building, erosion, climate, and deposition at time scales ranging from decades to millions of years. Robert Anderson is a geomorphologist who has studied the processes responsible for shaping many landscapes.  These include several tectonically active mountain ranges, from the Himalayas to Alaska.  He has been involved deeply in the development of methods to extract timing from landscapes, focusing on the use of cosmogenic radionuclides, and consistently employs numerical models in his work.
