What is Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains : A New Approach to Paleoseismology about?

This book explores how landscapes respond to tectonic deformation. Including much previously unpublished research and theory, Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains uses new approaches to enhance theoretical models of landscape evolution and to better assess hazards caused by earthquakes. Readers will learn how to use key landforms as diagnostic indicators of changing landscapes, to estimate rates of mountain-range uplift, and use landslide sensitivity to earthquakes to map the locations and intensity of prehistorical seismic shaking. Examples from around the world illustrate diverse landscapes, from the humid Southern Alps of New Zealand with phenomenal rates of uplift and erosion to the semiarid Panamint Range of southeastern California with such miniscule annual stream power that tectonic landforms persist for millions of years. With a balance of theory and paleoseismology applications, Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains is essential reading for research geologists and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the earth sciences.
