Desert Geomorphology

Based on sixty years of research in all the desert areas of the world, this is intended to be the definitive text on the geomorphology of deserts.

Fully informed by the most recent research findings from terrestrial satellite imagery, the study of planetary landscapes, and advances in laboratory work, the book also contributes significantly to understanding environmental processes involved in desertification and to the solution of planning and engineering problems in arid environments.

A greatly expanded and totally revised successor to "Geomorphology in Deserts" (Cooke & Warren 1970), the book is comprehensive in scope, profusely illustrated and complete with a bibliography of over 2000 entries. The book should be essential reading for students and researchers in geomorphology.

Sedimentologists, hydrologists and engineers with an interest in arid environments will also find it to be an authoritative reference source. "Ron Cooke is Professor of Geography and Vice-Provost at University College London. Andrew Warren is a Senior Lecturer in Geography at University College London. Andrew Goudie is Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford.". This book is intended for geomorphologists in departments of geography and geology/Earth sciences, as lecturers of courses on deserts and as any type of geomorphologist (most will want to acquire this book, whatever their speciality).
