Beschreibung:
Colin Ballantyne is a an academic geomorphologist with 40 years of research experience. He has worked in a wide range of environments, including the Canadian High Arctic, Norway, Spitsbergen, the Alps and New Zealand, but much of his research has focused on the mountains of Scotland. His research interests in Scotland are diverse, spanning work on the last ice sheet and later glacier readvances, the periglacial geomorphology of mountain areas, landslides, and how the landscape has evolved in the 11,500 years since the last glaciers disappeared from Scotland.
The diversity of Scotland's mountains is remarkable, ranging from the isolated summits of the far northwest, through the tor-studded high plateau of the Cairngorms to the hills of the Southern Uplands. Colin Ballantyne explains the geological and geomorphological evolution of Scotland's mountains to form an unparalleled variety of mountain forms.
