Current Perspectives on Applied Geomorphology

Applied geomorphology aims to understand the constraints that natural dynamics impose on human activities, as well as societal impacts on geomorphic forms and processes. It is therefore concerned with the analysis and interpretation of landforms resulting from the interaction between anthropic and non-anthropic (so-called natural) processes, using methodologies specific to this scientific area. This book provides a comprehensive overview of applied geomorphology. It includes five chapters that address such topics as geodiversity as a tool for nature conservation, geoheritage and its enhancement in the context of geotourism, piles as structural elements, slope stability, and landslides.
