Description: Updated, expanded, and following new U.S. Department of Agriculture nomenclature on soil horizons, this volume is a substantial revision of its well - received predecessor 'Pedology, Weathering and Geomorphological Research.' Written by a leading soil gemorphologist from a geologist's point of view, 'Soils and Geomorphology' provides a systematic treatment of pedology, with an emphasis on field aspects, processes, factors, and applications. Birkeland treats geologic aspect in full - including often neglected atmospheric additions in pedogenesis - and covers in depth the use of soils in Quaternary stratigraphic studies and to date faults, the use of soils in archeological studies, and the most recent ways of dating soils.
