With climate change and other environmental challenges placing increased emphasis on these resources, it has never been more important for researchers and environmental professionals to attain detailed knowledge of weathering and erosion processes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeathering and Erosion Processes in the Natural Environment\u003c\/i\u003e meets this need with a rigorous, systematic overview. Beginning with a description of different forces and processes that contribute to weathering, it then discusses the different kinds of landforms that can be produced by weathering and erosion processes, as well as the potential impacts of hydrogeological processes on both surface water and groundwater. The result is a volume that balances qualitative and quantitative understanding of this crucial subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeathering and Erosion Processes in the Natural Environment\u003c\/i\u003e readers will also find: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumented examples in which weathering and erosion processes have led to heavy metals and other trace elements in groundwater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed discussion of climate change impacts, including extreme weather events and rising carbon dioxide levels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModeling approaches throughout to enable quantitative assessment and predictions of future impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeathering and Erosion Processes in the Natural Environment\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for researchers and advanced students in geology, geochemistry, hydrogeochemistry and environmental science, as well as professionals dealing with water and soil management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVirendra Bahadur Singh, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, India.
