Summary
Summary
Hardbound. This volume, a compilation of papers presented at the 28th Binghamton Symposium held in Bologna, Italy, focusses on the role of geomorphology and the interface between engineering and geomorphology. Providing an overview of the changing face of the Earth, this collection of timely contributions encompasses the challenges of engineering geomorphology through a focus on accomplishments, opportunities and directions for the future of this field. The book presents a broad, international perspective on current concepts and techniques in engineering geomorphology.
