Earth Surface Processes and Environment in a Changing World: Sustainability, Climate Change and Society

Submission status
Closed
Earth surface processes, climatic change and land-use change are key issues worldwide. Sustainability is often highlighted across the natural, environmental, and social sciences, plus the effects on the natural systems and georesources. Human impacts to ecosystems exemplify the most unexpected and extensive forms of direct environmental change. In addition, modes of reaction will be introduced which indirectly involve geomorphic, geological, hydrological, climatic, ecological, and societal systems changes over spatial and temporal scales. In that view, geomorphology contributes decisively for a sustainability dimension by focusing on geological, hydrological, fluvial, cryospheric, and coastal processes. Thus, geomorphological investigations are based in the nexus processes – environment – society. This Topical Collection encourages submission of original manuscripts focused on the dynamics of coupled earth surface processes and the environment which underline the interlinkages with earth sciences, environmental sciences, water resources, natural resources, geohazards, geoheritage, and geoethics.
