Ebook-Leseprobe (PDF)

This edited volume brings together a collection of works that comprehensively address both the myriad geomorphological landscapes of the Maltese Islands and how their evolution has been shaped over various time-scales by different sets of processes. Additionally, the work highlights how the small geographical setting of the Maltese Islands helped to closely connect these landscapes with Maltese society and as a result, they have evolved from stand-alone examples of geomorphology to important backdrops of Maltese cultural identity. Most of the contributing authors are academics - both local and foreign - with a research focus on the geomorphology of the Maltese Islands. However, the editors have also (and purposefully) chosen other contributors from governmental institutions and research agencies, who complement the geomorphological research with their proactive work in selected case studies on Maltese landscapes.

Ritienne Gauci is a Lecturer in Physical Geography at the Department of Geography of the University of Malta. Her research interests are mainly in coastal geomorphic processes and resultant landforms, rocky coasts, geoheritage and melitensia cartography. She holds a B.A. (Hons) and M.A. in Geography from the University of Malta and a Ph.D. from the Department of Geography of the University of Portsmouth, UK. Ritienne is currently the national scientific representative for the International Association of Geomorphology (IAG), member of the British Society of Geomorphology (BSG) and the Royal Geographic Society (RGS-IBG). She is also on the committee board of the Malta Map Society and acts as consultant editor for the Malta Map Society Journal.
