Sears James W. (Emeritus Professor Geosciences Department University Of Montana Usa) - Landscape Evolution Of Continental - Scale River Systems A Case Study Of North Americas Pre - Pleistocene Bell River Basin - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Landscape Evolution of Continental - Scale River Systems: A Case Study of North America's Pre - Pleistocene Bell River Basin provides a detailed case study and complete analysis of this continental - scale North American paleo - river system. The book uses detrital zircon provenance data to link incision of the Grand Canyon to deposition of its erosional products in a giant drowned delta in the Labrador Sea in the context of sedimentary source - to - sink processes and Plio - Pleistocene continental drainage changes. The case study describes the tectonic changes in this continental - scale paleo - river system with global implications and contrasts this system to other continental - scale river systems around the world. This book is a valuable reference for postgraduate students academics and researchers in the fields of geology fluvial geomorphology and other geosciences. Readers will be able to use this detailed case study to better understand the implications for how active tectonics of headwaters regions influence delta deposition in continental - scale river systems around the world.
