Fluvial Megafans on Earth and Mars

Herausgeber: Gunnell, Yanni; Wilkinson, Justin

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An inventory of nearly 300 megafans across five continents, describing the major morphological attributes of megafans and multi-megafan landscapes. It examines the controls on megafan development and discusses the application of megafan research to aquifers as well as economic and planetary geology, including layered deposits on Mars.
