Geomorphology and the Carbon Cycle

The  first systematic examination of the role of geomorphological processes  in the cycling of carbon through the terrestrial system.

Argues  that knowledge of geomorphological processes is fundamental to  understanding the ways in which carbon is stored and recycled in the  terrestrial environment.

Integrates classical geomorphological theory  with understanding of microbial processes controlling the decomposition  of organic matter.

Develops an interdisciplinary research agenda for the analysis of the terrestrial carbon cycle
Informed  by work in ecology, microbiology and biogeochemistry, in order to  analyse spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial carbon cycling at  the landscape scale
Considers the ways in which, as Humanity enters  the Anthropocene, the application of this science has the potential to  manage the terrestrial carbon cycle to limit increases in atmospheric  carbon
