Biogeography is the study of the distribution of biodiversity over space and time. It aims to reveal where organisms live, and at what abundanceand why? Meanwhile, geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do. This book introduces readers to some of the latest research in these fields, as well as the practical applications, such as measuring the effects of climate change, hazard assessments including landslide prediction and mitigation, river control and restoration, coastal protection, and assessing the presence of water on Mars.
