Geomorphology In Deserts - Ronald U. Cooke

This Book Examines The Landforms, Soils, And Geomorphological Processes Of Deserts, Which Cover Over 20 Of Earth's Land Surface. Despite Their Vastness And The Significant Body Of Literature On The Topic, Deserts Remain Underrepresented In Comprehensive Geomorphological Surveys, With Notable Exceptions Like Walther's Das Gesetz Der Wiistenbildung (1924), Cotton's Climatic Accidents In Landscape Making (1942), And Tricart And Cailleux's Le Modeleacute; Des Reacute;gions Segrave;ches (1961). Our Study Builds On These Works, Incorporating Our Field Experiences In Deserts Across North America, South America, North Africa, And Pakistan, While Primarily Drawing On English-language Research And Emphasizing Contemporary Geomorphological Systems At Different Scales.
