商品描述
Much of the final shaping of the global landscape is accomplished by incision of river networks. The base-level is a principle determinate controlling the global relief by processes of erosion and aggradation. In the populated world, entrenchments triggered by base-level changes may become devastating events, damaging agricultural lands, undercutting bridges and destroying roads.
The aim of this book, as a chapter in fluviomorphology, is to present the base-level control when active in the continental interior, unrelated to marine base-level fluctuations along the continental margins nor to sequence stratigraphic tract models in Exxon sequence stratigraphic sense. The focus is on the morphology and the gross trends of the processes controlling channel evolution through transient signals initiated by base-level changes and communicated upstream through the drainage network.
The book brings together principles and conclusions gained by field work, by laboratory studies and by models, based on the widely scattered literature. The chapters include presentation of different types of base-levels, discussing the constraints of their altitude, the degradation and aggradation responses, the temporal and spatial trends along the channel network, the controlling factors, the knickpoint transient retreat process and its rates. Special emphasis is given to the Dead Sea Rift following its extreme base-level conditions which make it a unique field laboratory.
This book is relevant to students in earth sciences as well as to planners, hydrologists and engineers dealing with geomorphology and surface drainage.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
全球地貌的最終形成很大程度上是由河流網絡的侵蝕所完成的。基準水平是通過侵蝕和堆積過程來控制全球地形的主要因素。在人口稠密的世界中,由基準水平變化引發的河道侵蝕可能成為破壞性事件,損壞農田、削弱橋樑並破壞道路。
本書作為河流地貌學的一個章節,旨在介紹在內陸大陸上活躍的基準水平控制,與大陸邊緣的海洋基準水平波動以及埃克森序列地層學模型無關。重點在於通過基準水平變化引發的瞬時信號,以及這些信號如何通過排水網絡向上傳遞,控制河道演化的形態和總體趨勢。
本書匯集了田野調查、實驗室研究和模型研究所獲得的原則和結論,基於廣泛分散的文獻。各章節包括不同類型基準水平的介紹,討論其高度限制、降解和堆積反應、河道網絡的時間和空間趨勢、控制因素、崩塌點瞬時後退過程及其速率。特別強調死海斷裂帶,由於其極端的基準水平條件,使其成為一個獨特的實地實驗室。
本書對地球科學學生以及處理地貌學和地表排水的規劃師、水文學家和工程師具有相關性。
