Megaflooding on Earth and Mars /

This is a research summary of the causes and effects of megaflooding on Earth and Mars for hydrologists, planetary scientists and engineers. Beginning with a historical overview of flood science, the book presents sections on morphology and mechanism, flood sedimentology, and modelling.
