ABSTRACTThis textbook provides a modern, quantitative and process-oriented approach to equip students with the tools to understand geomorphology. Insight into the interpretation of landscapes is developed from basic principles and simple models, and by stepping through the equations that capture the essence of the mechanics and chemistry of landscapes. Boxed worked examples and real-world applications bring the subject to life for students, allowing them to apply the theory to their own experience. The book covers cutting edge topics, including the revolutionary cosmogenic nuclide dating methods and modeling, highlights links to other Earth sciences through up-to-date summaries of current research, and illustrates the importance of geomorphology in understanding environmental changes. Setting up problems as a conservation of mass, ice, soil, or heat, this book arms students with tools to fully explore processes, understand landscapes, and to participate in this rapidly evolving field."

"The aims of this study are to identify the general geomorphology of the areas and correlate it to the archological sites to the past sea levels proved by the studies from some other places in Peninsular Malaysia. Geomorphologically, Bujang Valley area consists of three major geomorphic units. Archeologically, there are three units of landforms which were selected according to their distribution of settlement sites as well as their human activities and cultural heritage."

"Cekungan Browse merupakan salah satu cekungan besar yang tergabung dalam Westralian Superbasin. Cekungan Browse tersusun atas beberapa formasi dengan lingkungan pengendapan berbeda. Penelitian ini akan berfokus pada lingkungan fluvial yang terdapat pada Formasi Plover, Formasi Jamieson, Formasi Woolaston, dan Formasi Johnson pada Cekungan Browse. Metode yang digunakan adalah seismik geomorfologi, yaitu menganalisis fitur geomorfologi pada data seismik yang sebelumnya diolah melalui spektral dekomposisi, sehingga terbentuk gambaran lingkungan pengendapan pada tiap formasi. Dilakukan pencarian endapan channel dan perhitungan geometri channel untuk mengetahui arsitektur serta evolusi yang terjadi pada channel daerah penelitian. Hasil dari penelitian memperlihatkan adanya deformasi pada Formasi Plover sehingga fitur seismik sulit dikenali. Ditemukan beberapa endapan channel pada Formasi Jamieson, Formasi Johnson, dan Formasi Woolaston dengan tipe sungai braided. Arsitektur channel terlihat jelas pada lapisan Formasi Woolaston.

Browse Basin is one of the large basins that are part of the Westralian Superbasin. Browse Basin is composed of several formations with different depositional environments. This research will focus on the fluvial environment in the Plover Formation, Jamieson Formation, Woollaston Formation, and Johnson Formation in  Browse Basin. The method used is seismic geomorphology, which analyzes geomorphological features in seismic data, processed through spectral decomposition which show a picture of the depositional environment that formed in each formation. Channel deposits analysis and calculation of channel geometry was done to determine the architecture and evolution that occurred in the channel in the study area. The results this study show that there is deformation in the Plover Formation that seismic features are difficult to identify. Several channel deposits were found in the Jamieson Formation, the Johnson Formation, and the Woolaston Formation with braided river types. The channel architecture is clearly visible in the Woolaston Formation layers."

""Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions of years. Over the past decade, recent advances in the quantification of both rates and the physical basis of tectonic and surface processes have underpinned an explosion of new research in the field of tectonic geomorphology. Modern tectonic geomorphology is an exceptionally integrative field that utilizes techniques and data derived from studies of geomorphology, seismology, geochronology, structure, geodesy, stratigraphy, meteorology and Quaternary science. While integrating new insights and highlighting controversies from the ten years of research since the 1st edition, this 2nd edition of Tectonic Geomorphology reviews the fundamentals of the subject, including the nature of faulting and folding, the creation and use of geomorphic markers for tracing deformation, chronological techniques that are used to date events and quantify rates, geodetic techniques for defining recent deformation, and paleoseismologic approaches to calibrate past deformation"--Back cover."
