Processes, Products, and Cycles of Tectonic Geomorphology, Volume Six focuses on the process of landscape evolution more than the qualitative landscape description that is commonly available in geomorphic texts. The emerging understanding of the linkage between the modified Davisian landscape cycles and Wilson tectonic cycles is enumerated to highlight how sustainable land-use planning and hazard mitigation can benefit from this integrative perspective of geomorphology. This book is intended for practitioners and advanced-level students of earth sciences.

Vivek S. Kale is a former reader in geology at the University of Pune in Pune, India, and a former adjunct professor of earth sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology (B) in Mumbai, India, with more than 30 years of teaching experience. He currently is the Managing Trustee at ACWADAM in Pune and serves as the Head of Geospatial at Kalyani Global Engineering Private Limited. He is a member of Geological Society of India, the Geological Society of America, the Indian Geophysical Union, and the Indian Society of Remote Sensing.
