Book Synopsis System Theory in Geomorphology by : Kirsten von Elverfeldt

Download or read book System Theory in Geomorphology written by Kirsten von Elverfeldt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 the same time operationally closed, as self-organized, structure-building and potentially self-referential. Kirsten von Elverfeldt succeeds in designing a theoretical framework that sets new standards within Physical Geography. By using state-of-the-art concepts in system theory, it offers also new bridges to Human Geography as well as to other neighbouring disciplines. This book was awarded the Dissertation prize 2010 of the German Working Group in Geomorphology of the DGfG and the Hans Bobek-prize of the ÖGG (Austrian Geographical Society).
