""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."

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."

"Tectonically Indonesia is influenced by the interaction of both oceanic and continental plate. One of the tectonic phenomena is volcano-photonic activities. Those occurred during late Cenozoic within the tectonic complex zones of the volcanic arcs result in precious and base metallic mineral deposition. Yet the weathering process to those deposits produces secondary metallic minerals."

"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."
