PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
商品資訊
商品簡介
- Offers an integrated approach to the study of earth, marine and atmospheric environmental sciences, reflecting current trends in undergraduate courses.
- Natural examples of physical processes, rather than abstract physics and maths, are used throughout to illustrate the scientific principles involved.
Artwork from the book is available to instructors online at www.blackwellpublishing.com/leeder.
作者簡介
Dr Marta Pérez-Arlucea teaches and researches at the Faculty of Marine Sciences, University of Vigo, Spain. Her main research interests currently include fluvial and coastal sedimentology, the determination of denudation rates, sediment flux, deposition rates and coastal evolution in Galicia (Spain), and the relation between tectonics and sedimentation in the Gulf of Corinth (Greece) and New Mexico, USA.
