Weathering geomorphology : theoretical and methodological themes

Auteurs :
NORDBERG, V.G.
TURKINGTON, A.V.

Description :
Despite being an integral component of much geomorphology work, the focus of weathering geomorphology has been on qualitative research, with less emphasis on geomorphic theory. This anomalous development is in part a reflection of the specific research questions addressed and the availability or adoption of analytical techniques. Additionally, the differing path reflects the applied nature of the research conducted and disciplinary differences between weathering researchers and other geomorphologists. The AA. call for greater promotion of the importance of weathering processes to geomorphologists and recognition of disciplinary commonalities.
