This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the morphometrical methods used in geomorphology : value scales, graphic representation of the morphometry and of the land inclination. - (M. Vârlan).
To evaluate the importance of anthropogenous changes of the relief it is necessary to consider the further geomorphological development of new forms and the possibility of their economic application. Cartographic methods of interpretation. (MS).
In the last two decades concern with global environmental change has brought the role of anthropogeomorphology into sharper focus. Global warming, if it occurs, will have important implications for many geomorphological processes and phenomena
as a result of the direct effects of warming, as a consequence of other related climatic changes (e.g. précipitation change) and as a result of climatically moderated changes in major geomorphologically significant variables (e.g. vegetation cover
). Geomorphologists need, inter alia, to establish long-term study sites that will generate base-line data, to monitor the location and rate of change using sequential cartographic and remote sensing materials, to determine information on natural background levels
The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast available geomorphological, cartographic, satellite, archaeological and historical data, in order to locate precisely and date former river channels and former deltaic mouths. The AA. also present
a comprehensive dynamic geomorphological account of the development of the deltas since the 7th century BC. From the end of the 16th century, an acceleration of the processes of changes in the river courses and progression of the deltas can be detected, affecting
Automated geomorphological mapping is based on an automatic transfer of scanner space photoes data to a corresponding base map along with the absolute geographic fixation of the results. The cartographic image for a geomorphological map of the SW
European part of the USSR has been obtained using the automated cartographic system ACS - MGU. - (L'Ed.).
Detailed review on cartographic activities carried out in the Geographical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences during the last 40 years, ranging from series of geomorphological thematic maps to the new edition of the National

Zur morphogenetischen Bedeutung der Graulehme in der Nordeifel. in Soils and geomorphology. (Signification morphogénétique des limons gris dans le nord de l'Eifel)
Des sols relictes considérés comme des plastosols tertiaires ont été cartographiés. Une classification des limons est proposée. Elle utilise la capacité d'échange de cations de la fraction argileuse. La signification morphogénétique des limons gris
Glacial geomorphology and dynamics in Soviet Karelia interpreted by means of satellite imagery
Grâce à des compositions colorées d'images de satellite, les formes glaciaires, fluvioglaciaires, moraines terminales et moraines à hummocks ont été cartographiées avec le type et le taux d'ablation glaciaire. La direction et l'intensité du flux
Geomorphology of Fljotsdalshérad, eastern Iceland, and its implications
Les témoins des phases principales jalonnant le retrait demeurent rares et de dimensions modestes. Les anciens chenaux sous-glaciaires, cartographiés, sont très développés. Les paysages tardi-glaciaires ont surtout été influencés par les processus
Quaternary geomorphology in tectonically active areas with emphasis in fluvio-coastal processes
is analyzed in order to identify the threshold values for the occurrence of the geomorphological and hydrological processes that negatively impact the environment and society. At the same time, based on certain specific parameters of the 3 discussed factors
, the AA. have accomplished a multi-criteria analysis that highlights the vulnerability to hydrogeomorphological processes of the investigated watersheds. The basic methods are the analytical and synthetic ones, based on graphical and cartographical models
. The AA. could mention the use of graphical and cartographical data representation.
