This paper presents the basics of lichenometry as well as its applications in geomorphological research. Also presented are results of lichenometric dating of landslide-rockfall walls in the western part of the Polish Flysch Carpathians. The study
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 research on slope deformations in the Vsetín district, in the Outer Western Carpathians, activated by extreme precipitations (July 1997). More than 500 localities of slope-failures were recorded. The slope failures disturbed the landscape
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

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 Carpathian Mountains (Romania), and 2300 m asl
Environment of the East Carpathian Foreland during periods of Palaeolithic man's activity
In the second half of the 20th century, many Palaeolithic sites were discovered and investigated in the East Carpathian Foreland. The aim of this work is to present natural background and conditions of intensive penetration of the Dniester River
valley within the East Carpathian Foreland by Palaeolithic man since at least the last interglacial. Palaeogeographical and stratigraphical studies of loesses were the basis of reconstructions of the past landscapes.
Author provides an overview about the geological formation and geomorphological development of the inner string of basins in the Eastern Carpathians (Romania). - (ZK)

Metody badania wspo czesnych procesow morfogenetycznych w Polskich Karpatach. (Research methods of present-day morphogenetic processes in the Polish Carpathians)
Apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He dating of teschenite intrusions gives time constraints on accretionary processes and development of planation surfaces in the Outer Western Carpathians
concepts, which stipulate that a large regional planation surface of Pannonian age developed in the whole Western Carpathians. The data indicate : a dynamic basin setting with an active accretionary process in a subduction zone; accretionary processes
in the Outer Western Carpathians were active already during Late Eocene times.
The aim of this study is to give a general description of fog frequency, as well as to indicate the potential role of pollutant deposition via fog in the environmental processes ongoing in the Carpathians. The annual number of days with fog (NDF
) depends on altitude, station location in regard to circulation patterns and distance from the sea, terrain morphology at a given station site and in its wider neighbourhood. The large NDF observed in the Carpathians suggest that this region
Neogene to early Pleistocene subsidence close to the Pieniny Klippen Belt, Polish Carpathians
Rates of subsidence or deposition were calculated for intramontane depression filled with Neogene and early Pleistocene fresh-water deposits close to the Pieniny Klippen Belt of the Carpathians. The rates are highest for the Nowy Sacz Basin
structural break between the Inner and Outer Carpathians. The subsidence was here associated with faulting. The results obtained have a bearing on dating the stages of development of the relief in this part of the Carpathians. (d'après l'A.).
Volcanism of different type and duration and the intensity of postvolcanic erosion are reflected by the recent landforms evolved on basalt surfaces in the Slovak Carpathians. The procedure of landform classification included the following steps

The paper presents a series of morphometrical characteristics of the drainage basins of different orders (Strahler system) in the Tarcău river basin (Eastern Carpathians). In direct correlation with the structure and the petrographical composition
(the Basin is entirely situated in the cretaceous and paleogene flysch zone in the eastern part of the Eastern Carpathians), the values of the main analysed parameters present variations according to tables 1, 2 and 3. - (G. Romanescu).
