Earth Surface Sediment Transport

by Ian Statham

Published 1 December 1977
This book is a simple introduction to the processes which move sediment and solutes at the earth's surface. It explains the mechanical and chemical principles fundamental to transport processes, concentrating upon the materials being moved and how their properties influence transport. These principles are applied to transport processes, which are broadly grouped into processes essentially gravitational in operation. Students of geography, geology taking courses in process geomorphology and physical geography.
