A computer model is used to represent the stochastic effects of geomorphic processes acting on Appalachian structures, and to produce the various stages of Cenozoic Appalachian geomorphic history. Four theories of Appalachian history, defined
The A. summarizes current knowledge on the glacial and periglacial modification of the Appalachian landscape and proposes hypotheses, even outrageous ones, to stimulate further research.
By coupling a model of the basin evolution, the AA. can determine not only the mass of the Appalachians but their shape as well. The technique indicates a central Andean topography with average relief on the order of 3.5-4.5 km and width of 250-300
A series of climate model simulations are utilized to examine the climate evolution of the Appalachians from the Carboniferous to the Present through consideration of large scale changes in paleogeography and potential variations in carbon dioxide

This paper explores the history of land-use change and the study of fluvial response to such changes in the Southern Appalachian region over the past century. It examines Southern Appalachian investigations of fluvial response to land-use change
in the broader contexts of U.S. national trends, and considers opportunities for further research in the Southern Appalachian region.
Description of and field guide to large and small-scale features of thin-skinned tectonics in the southern Appalachians and a discussion of hydrocarbon production and potential.
The A. presents a model for the continuous production and removal of Appalachian Piedmont upland regolith, and compares the mass flux (mass/area-time) from the Piedmont, determined from independent geochemical and geomorphic measurements
, with recent determinations of post-Triassic uplift of the Piedmont and other areas of the Appalachian orogen.

Appalachians. An application of the landform quantification system is illustrated by predicting the distribution of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) ecosystems in northwestern South Carolina. Discussion of the results.
The A. reviews the many erosion rates calculated for the AppalachianMountains, to briefly analyze variations in the discharge, chemical-character, specific-conductance, and suspended-sediment data used in this report, and to calculate an erosion
