| Summary: |
Addresses the human impacts on landscapes through occupation (urbanization) and development as a contribution to anthropogenic geomorphology or 'anthropogeomorphology'. This includes a focus on land clearance, conservation issues, pollution, decay and erosion, urban climate, and anthropogenic climate change. These topics, as well as others, are considered to shed more light on the human transformation of natural landscapes and the environmental impacts and geomorphological hazards that environmental change can encompass. |
