Beyond Barriers: Building Inclusive Landscapes for a Changing Planet
A landscape is never just a backdrop; it is a living record of Earth’s forces. It shifts through three core elements of geomorphology: the landforms we see (river valleys, beaches, and uplands), the processes that shape them from the outside, such as wind, water, and climate, and the forces that work from within the planet, like tectonics and volcanic activity.
