System Theory in Geomorphology Challenges, Epistemological Consequences and Practical Implications /
Empirical research needs a profound theory to be successful. This is the simple but, in its consequences, radical approach for this study in geomorphology. It critically analyses the current system understanding and offers a new view for a geomorphology that understands systems as being open but at...
