Contents:

Introduction -- Production of sediment at the Earth's surface -- Fundamentals of fluid flow, sediment transport, erosion, and deposition -- Environments of erosion and deposition -- Sediment into rock : diagenesis -- Long-term, large-scale processes : mountains and sedimentary basins.

Review: "Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits are intimately related - involving erosion of rocks, generation of sediment, and transport and deposition of sediment through various Earth surface environments. These processes, and the landforms and deposits that they generate, have a fundamental bearing on engineering, environmental and public safety issues; on recovery of economic resources; and on our understanding of Earth history. This textbook brings together the traditional disciplines of sedimentology and geomorphology to explain Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits in a comprehensive and integrated way."--Jacket.
