"This report provides a primer on geomorphology and river processes relevant to the environmental monitoring and assessment activities of Inland Waters Directorate of Environment Canada. An earth history of Canada is presented with an emphasis on the history of the Quaternary, the character and distribution of surficial materials laid down in Canada in the Pleistocene, and the nature of post-glacial processes acting on the landscape. The relevance of the geomorphic context to contemporary river process description and explanation is illustrated. Implications for sediment regimes, water quality and water use are described and the context for environmental impact assessment of channel developments, and planning of river monitoring sampling sites, are provided. Specific applications of the approach in basins and rivers of the Western and Northern Region of Canada are described"--Abstract. Includes abstracts in English and French.
