Description of
Periglacial Landscapes of Europe
3031148940 pdf 3031148940 pdf This book comprehensively presents the geography of landforms linked to periglacial processes across Europe. The landscape of the European cold climate regions, both at high latitudes and in mountainous environments, represent the lingering, minimal expression of the glaciers. In addition, periglacial elements can be found in temperate regions, where temperatures no longer favor periglacial processes, so landforms are therefore inherited from previous cold phases. The book is divided into five parts: an introductory section on climate variability responsible for periglacial dynamics across Europe a second part including 3 blocks on periglacial landforms in southern, central and northern Europe and a final chapter providing a more general perspective on the impact of periglacial processes on the landscape of Europe.
