Summary: This edited work provides the first comprehensive account of how connectivity concepts and methods are applied in geomorphology. Addressing both qualitative and quantitative aspects, this volume demonstrates how the powerful conceptual framework of connectivity can be used to effectively describe material transfer between geomorphic system components. The book begins by introducing the key elements of connectivity science, drawing from a broad range of disciplines. The latest research on connectivity is then presented for each major process domain, including hillslopes, rivers and glaciers. Methods of quantification and measurement are described, providing an overview of methodologies and indices that can be used to assess connectivity as a property of soils and landscapes, and approaches for modelling connectivity are reviewed. The book concludes with an examination of applications of connectivity thinking in environmental management. Accessible and self-contained, this text is a key resource for practitioners, researchers and graduate students in geomorphology. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/connectivity-in-geomorphology/03A24D2FE919CFA6161BD3ED43D154C0#fndtn-information
