Produktbeschreibung

Die äolische Geomorphologie beschäftigt sich mit der Formung der Landschaften durch Wind. Alle beteiligten Prozesse, von der Bodenerosion über Sanddünen bis hin zur Lößbildung, werden in diesem Band beschrieben. Den Hauptteil des Buches machen instruktiv ausgewählte Fallstudien aus; das letzte Kapitel gibt einen Ausblick auf zukünftige technologische, methodische und organisatorische Entwicklungen.
