The author shows the history of the Carpathian geological vertical zones during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. The warming of climate, from a continental periglacial climate to a more oceanic one, and the rise in humidity were two engines

Classification and factors of slope movements and resulting failures. Geomorphological development of Slovak Carpathians. Slope failures in the Core High Mountains, Carpathian Flysch, Neogene Volcanites and in the Neogene tectonic depressions. (MS).
Permafrost of the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains, Eastern and Southeastern Europe

Analysis of freezing and thawing indices indicates that climatic conditions sufficient for permafrost development occur at heights of 1930 m asl in the Tatra Mountains (Poland), 2000 asl in the south CarpathianMountains (Romania), and 2300 m asl
The paper provides an outline of the programme, as a contribution to the wider electrification programme, and considers the impact of these developments in the Carpathians where there is much evidence of integrated rural planning to combine
The paper presents an analysis of recent trends for precipitation in the Carpathians on the basis of data for the period 1951-1995. Temporal variability in precipitation was examined based on area-averaged data for the Carpathians
and then separately for the eastern and western parts. Overall precipitation totals in the Carpathians show downward trends, which are visible in summer and winter but which contrast with opposite trends in spring and summer. Agreement between the course and trend
Classification and quantification of ground-destruction phenomena in ecosystems of high mountain regions of the Western Carpathians
Author deals with a location of the ground destruction in the system of geomorphological processes and classifies the phenomena and forms in high mountain, areas. An extend of the destroyed soil mantles and action of different morphogenetic
processes as well as the rate of ground destruction processes are evaluated above the timberline in the Western Carpathians. (MS).
Geomorphological evolution of longitudinal river profiles in the Carpathians
CarpathianMountains ; Channel geometry ; Drainage network ; Longitudinal section ; Mathematical model ; Mountain ; Romania ; Stream ; Tectonics ; Vertical movement
In this paper, attention is focused on the concavity of the stream profile. On this basis, the AA. tried to determine the evolution of some Eastern Carpathian rivers of Romania and thus estimate their long-term evolutionary tendencies
. They demonstrate that age has no influence on the form of the longitudinal profiles for the rivers on the exterior side of the Carpathians. This is because tectonic uplift was important, and this phenomenon is still present today.
CarpathianMountains ; Geomorphogenesis ; Mountain ; Regional geology ; Romania
Author provides an overview about the geological formation and geomorphological development of the inner string of basins in the Eastern Carpathians (Romania). - (ZK)
The application of some morphometric parameters for morphometric research of the culmination area of the outer Western Carpathians. Potential zones of neotectonic activity are delimited. - (MS)
Storage of large woody debris in the wide mountain Czarny Dunajec River, southern poland, was investigated following 2 floods of June and July 2001, with a seven-year frequency. The objective was to explain the observed pattern of wood deposition
The paper presents the results of geomorphological, geological and palynological investigations carried out in the area of Szymbark and Koszarawa, Beskid Niski and Beskid Zywiecki Mts, respectively (Western Carpathians, Poland). In particular
The forest of the Western Carpathians are important in protecting the soil and water resources of Slovakia and neighboring countries. Although the forest acreage has increased more than 10% during the last 40 years, the condition of the forests
CarpathianMountains ; Geomorphology ; Mountain ; Romania ; Volcanism
Author investigates the geomorphological characteristics of Hargiat mountain, the most sotherly member of the volcanic range in the Eastern Carpathians. Important features are in the mountain ranges' varied surface formations, the primary volcanic
Atlas ; CarpathianMountains ; Central Europe ; Europe ; Thematic mapping
This paper deals with the digital facsimile publication of the Atlas of Central Europe, issued in 1993. The primary objective of the Atlas of Carpathian Region was to present the geographical conditions, demographic pattern and economic life
of the Carpathian Basin and its surroundings, and of the historical development, administrative and political changes within its boundaries. - (JS)
Model of deposition of loess in central part of the Polish Flysch Carpathians during the last cold stage

This paper deals with a proposal of constructing a model of formation of the specific Carpathian variety of loesses during the Vistulian. It is based on the observation and measurements of the actual activity of winds, the occurence of blowouts
Waterfalls occurring in the Polish Outer Carpathians have been studied with regard to their geological settings. They are small forms developed on faulted flysch rocks of different resistance on streams characterized by similar features of catchment
Until recently only geomorphological features and mammal fossils had been known as evidence to the long-debated dry-warm semidesert or hot desert climate in the Carpathian basin following the filling up of the Pannonian Lake. A comparison of samples

This paper, summarising and evaluating regional data of recent research, focusses on the characteristics of erosion and drainage pattern observed on the youngest to oldest volcanic depressions of the Carpathians. Eroded craters, calderas, failure
