Geomorphologic and palaeoenvironmental development of Holocene perched coastal dune systems in Brittany, France
Two perched dune systems are investigated in the Baie d'Audierne (Finistère, northwest France) employing geomorphologic and stratigraphic surveys, including radiocarbon (C 14) and biostratigraphic (molluscan) analyses. The sites selected are Plage
de Mezpeurleuch and Plage de Guendrez. The AA. aim to establish the maximum age of the perched dune systems, to investigate their palaeoenvironmental development, to use these data to model their geomorphological evolution, and to consider
The results of the morphostructural analysis based on detailed geomorphologic mapping and on analysis of fissures and fault tectonics as well. The position and the altitude of the Paleogene planation surface relicts allow to assume tectonic
In this paper, the authors introduce a possible method for the conservation evaluation of geomorphological landforms. They elabored a scoring system for the determination of the value of typefiedness, which is the first step of the conservation

The integration of geomorphological data in Geographical Information System demands extensive consideration of GIS data models and special analytical techniques. The impact of landslides on human activities are shown in the Trkmanka River catchment
Geomorphological characteristics of small debris flows on Junior's Kop, Marion Island, maritime sub-Antarctic
The geomorphological characteristics of small debris flows in a maritime sub-Antarctic environment are described. The morphological and sedimentological characteristics of the debris flows are comparable to debris flows documented for other parts
Geomorphological evidence of intense prehistoric soil erosion in the highlands of central Jordan
This paper presents a preliminary evaluation of geomorphological evidence that suggests intense translocation of soil sediment into the rivers. Such evidence has been collected in a pilot project to test soil properties in uplands and alluvial
In 2000, Jack D. Ives, MRD founding editor, received two awards from the Association of American Geographers (AAG). The AAG's Mountain Specialty Group bestowed the Distinguished Career Award on Jack for having enriched geographical research
of mountains for nearly half a century. The AAG's Geomorphology Specialty Group gave him the Melvin G. Marcus Distinguished Career Award for his extraordinary contributions to geomorphology ... as field researcher, institute director, mentor, author, editor
The geomorphology of the coastal area between Gamasa and Baltim reveals 4 units : beach, strand plain, coastal sand dunes and interdune depressions. The landuse-landcover classification of the study area reveals 6 classes. The change detection using
Calanco (plural, calanchi) is a term widely used in the northern Apennines, Italy, to define a type of badland formed in clayey bedrock. However, no precise geomorphological definition of calanco has been established. The availability of modern
