Fluvial Dynamics and Cultural Landscape Evolution in the Rio Grande de Nazca Drainage Basin, Southern Peru

Focusing on landscape evolution in the lower Rio Grande drainage basin during the Late Holocene, this research explores the interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors, cultural development, and climatic changes. It investigates how extreme events may have influenced past societies. By integrating archaeological evidence with physical geography, the author aims to quantify landscape changes and their impacts. The book features a main section and a comprehensive appendix with sketches, sediment profile interpretations, and laboratory analysis results.
