The Geological History of the Rivers of East Yorkshire (Classic Reprint): Being the Sedgwick Prize Essay, for the Year 1900 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore how rivers and rocks shape East Yorkshire. This book explains how the region’s drainage systems developed over deep time and how geology set the course of its rivers.
The Geological History of the Rivers of East Yorkshire: Being the Sedgwick Prize Essay, for the Year 1900 examines the links between rock structure, landforms, and water flow. It focuses on the eastern half of Yorkshire, detailing how major rivers and their headwaters interact with the region’s ancient surfaces, fault lines, and drift deposits. With clear maps and grounded analysis, the work shows how the present drainage patterns emerged from long geological processes, including ice action and sediment movement.
What you’ll experience
- A structured look at the major river systems in East Yorkshire, including the Ouse, Esk, Hull, Derwent, and Tees catchments
- Explanations of how cliffs, escarpments, and different rock types influenced river courses
- Connections between glacial history and current drainage in the Vale of Pickering and surrounding moorlands
- Illustrations of how river development tracks with geological ages and earth movements
Ideal for readers of geology, physical geography, and regional history who want a grounded, research‑based view of how rivers evolve with the land.
