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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274422608023,"sku":"9789400795228","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789400795228.webp?v=1769279879","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/system-theory-in-geomorphology-challenges-epistemological-consequences-and-practical-implications-9789400795228","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
