520 Sediment Cascades: An Integrated Approach provides a
comprehensive overview that addresses the transport of
sediment through the landscape. Suitable for academic
researchers, industry practitioners, research students and
advanced level undergraduates, seeking detailed knowledge
and an up-to-date review of the recent research
literature. The emphasis is on contemporary sediment
system dynamics with relevance both to landscape
management and landform development. Sediment Cascades: An
Integrated Approach begins with an explanation of the need
for an integrated approach to sediment delivery systems
and introduces the main themes of sediment production,
delivery, storage and transfer. Further chapters then
focus on specific environments from mountains, through
floodplains, to estuaries and the continental shelf.
Focuses on contemporary sediment system dynamics and
current research Covers a sequence of environments from
steep mountains to the continental shelf Highlights the
continuity of the subject by linking each component area
with its adjacent elements
