DESCRIPTION:
The author argues persuasively that fluvial geomorphology, sedimentology and stratigraphy provide insights into each of these components of the river basin. His primary experience has been in the investigation and analysis of fluvial systems. Schumm is an internationally recognized geomorphologist who has published 150 papers and authored and edited 11 books. He has performed research, lectured and advised government agencies around the world.. "This volume, with its generous illustrations will be welcomed by earth scientists generally. It fills an important niche in the fluvial literature and its lucid style and clear exposition place it well within the range of students in any form of higher education." Nature "As a synthesis of the fluvial system and its effects on the landscape, as a primer in fluvial geomorphology and sedimentation for the planner, engineer and economic geologist, and as a stimulator o

Dr. He has also been involved in the interpretation of lunar and Martian landforms. He has applied the concepts of geomorphology, fluvial hydraulics and geology to analyze alluvial river form and shape, sediment transport and effects of man-induced changes on river systems throughout the United States and i
"The best Fluvial Geomorph book around" according to MP. I have read alot of books on this subject and this is still one of the leaders in having all of the info that you want in one book. All topics are covered and in such detail!!! It is such a valuble tool that someone should republish it for students now.. "Very good overview of fluvial processes and geomorpholoy" according to A Customer. Designed as a companion for his college course on the subject. Schumm clearly explains the concepts and theories behind fluvial geomorphology. This book should be required reading for all students and practicioners of fluvial sequence stratigraphy. CJ
