Freeze-thaw weathering is an important surface process and the complex underlying
processes can be understood as an interplay between rock properties and its dynamic …

This work constructs a fracture mechanics framework for conceptualizing mechanical rock
breakdown and consequent regolith production and erosion on the surface of Earth and …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

We present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that
includes the continuous high latitude arctic permafrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous …

The freeze–thaw action of water inside rocks' pores, cracks, and joints plays a dominant role
in physical rock weathering where the temperature fluctuates across 0° C. To understand …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Studies of rates, processes and modes of rock surface, and near-surface, deterioration, and
also hardening, are central to rock weathering and building stone research, conservation …

Outcrops of granitic rocks cover a large proportion of the Earth's surface and host a range of
spectacular landforms and landscapes, from extensive plains dotted by inselbergs to deeply …

The field of asteroid thermophysical modeling has experienced an extraordinary growth in
the last 10 years, as new thermal-infrared data became available for hundreds of thousands …

Weathering in cold regions has primarily focused on the notion of 'cold', such that process
and landform theory have generally used this both as the developmental criterion and as the …
