Climatic geomorphology is the study of the role of climate in shaping landforms and the earth-surface processes.[1] An approach used in climatic geomorphology is to study relict landforms to infer ancient climates.[1] Being often concerned about past climates climatic geomorphology considered sometimes to be an aspect of historical geology.[2] Since landscape features in one region might have evolved under climates different from those of the present, studying climatically disparate regions might help understand present-day landscapes. For example, Julius Büdel studied both cold-climate processes in Svalbard and weathering processes in tropical India to understand the origin of the relief of Central Europe, which he argued was a palimpsest of landforms formed at different times and under different climates.[3]
