This book on Turkish geomorphology offers location descriptions,
based on their dynamics and evolution processes, including
hydrology, tectonics, volcanism, slopes, coasts, ice/snow, and
wind. It presents landforms as a result of evolution (Quaternary,
Holocene, historic) and in relation to the elements determining
and/or impacting this evolution (vegetation, soil, hydrology,
geology, climate, sea level and human action) as well as the
resulting landscapes. Richly illustrated with pictures from each
site, including geomorphological maps and sections, it explains the
risks associated with the geomorphological dynamics (on local and
global scales), natural and/or cultural heritage (archaeology,
prehistory, history, architectural specifications adapted to the
landscape), as well as challenges for human society (endangered
landscape, protection/conservation rules/statutes,
posters/paintings.).
