Urban Geomorphology: Landforms and Processes in Cities - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr. Mary J. Thornbush, University of Guelph, Canada, is a trained geomorphologist and environmental researcher specializing in climate change mitigation-adaptation and environmental sustainability. Her research on soils focuses on measuring soil organic carbon; monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) protocols; weathering of calcareous rock and soil aggregates; soil and sediment erosion; and sustainable land management (SLM). Her interdisciplinary approach bridges policy-relevant climate change mitigation-adaptation frameworks involving carbon sequestration and soil health.

Though well-regarded in the fields of geomorphology, rock/cultural stone decay, and humanistic geography, Dr. Casey D. Allen’s passion rests in helping people explore and discover landscapes as Traditional and Romantic Geographers. A first-generation college student and award-winning teacher-scholar with broad interests, he has been as a professional academic advisor, created and supervised several successful academic and support programs, was selected as a Fulbright Scholar, National Science Foundation Fellow, and Early Career Scholar in Geographic Education, and held various faculty and administrative positions at several universities – including earning tenure at the University of Colorado before serving as Lecturer of Earth/Environmental Science for the Faculty of Science and Technology at The University of the West Indies Cave Hill campus in Barbados. Along with his penchant for travel, Dr. Allen also retains interests and expertise in soils and biological soil crusts, landscape/geoarchaeology, rock art, botany, and regional studies.
