Description
In recognition of the fundamental control exerted by weathering on landscape evolution and topographic development, the 35th Binghamton
Geomorphology Symposium was convened under the theme of Weathering and Landscape Evolution. The papers and posters presented at the conference
imparted the state-of-the-art in weathering geomorphology, tackled the issue of scale linkage in geomorphic studies and offered a vehicle
for interdisciplinary communication on research into weathering and landscape evolution. The papers included in this book are encapsulated
here under the general themes of weathering mantles, weathering and relative dating, weathering and denudation, weathering processes
and controls and the 'big picture'.
Audience
Geomorphologists, physical Geographers, engineering geologists and exploration geologists
