Overview
Climate change significantly impacts geomorphology, altering landforms and landscapes through processes like erosion, sedimentation, and glacial retreat. As temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, these changes can lead to increased coastal erosion, altered river systems, and the loss of habit...
