Book synopsis

This book comprehensively presents the geography of landforms dominated by periglacial dynamics across Europe. The landscape of the cold climate regions in Europe is mainly affected by periglacial dynamics, both at high latitudes and in mountainous environments, which represent the lingering, minimal expression of the glaciers. In addition, periglacial elements can be found in temperate regions, where temperatures no longer favor periglacial processes inherited from previous cold phases.The book is divided into three parts: an introductory part, with one chapter focused on the climate variability responsible for periglacial dynamics; a second part including 12 chapters on different regions; and a final chapter providing a more general perspective on the impact of periglacial processes on the landscape of Europe. The book offers a valuable reference guide for scientists from all disciplines interested in cold climate processes, as well as readers outside academia (territorial managers, environmentalists, mountaineers, politicians, engineers, etc.).
