movements in the origin of geological and geomorphological features. Various types of structures have been selected for study and recognised as particular types of morphostructure. Examples of relief properties suggest a relationship between orography
The general geomorphological map on the scale of 1:25,000, the Zlatna sheet, marks out 3 large relief groups, namely, denudational, fluviatile and anthropic. It contains an explanatory text, 2 auxiliary profiles (scale 1:50,000), namely a map
of relief units, a morphostructural map, as well as 2 geomorphological cross-sections (scale 1:25,000) revealing both the landforms and the geological structure, i.e. rock compositions and strata inclination.
Large woody debris and river geomorphological pattern : examples from S.E. France and S. England
This paper contributes to the evaluation of the geomorphological significance of large woody debris, LWD, in European rivers. It provides a context for this evaluation through an analysis of the international literature on LWD. It then presents
an analysis based upon semi-natural hydrosystems in S.E. France and S. England of different geomorphological pattern or type. Finally, some recomendations for management based upon geomorphological river types are presented.
Late Holocene sedimentation rates and geomorphological significance of the Ncamasere Valley, Okavango delta, Botswana
The paper presents the preliminary results of geomorphological and sedimentological investigations in the Ncamasere Valley, a seasonally back-flooded tributary of the Okavango River. Studies of organic horizons within cores indicate the differences
Climate ; Climatic geomorphology ; Drainage network ; Malta ; Mediterranean area ; Slope deposit ; Valley
With such a limited area and range of rock type, Malta cannot provide anything approaching a representative sample of the landforms which occur in the Mediterranean Basin. However, few geomorphological features can be considered unique
landform and is the predominant feature in maltese geomorphology.
Multi-phase geomorphological evolution of the Keszthely Mountains (SW-Transdanubia) and karstic recharge of the Hévíz lake
Geomorphology and changing environments in Central Europe
in the hydrogeological system of the Hévíz lake. The paleogeographical reconstruction was based on large-scale geological models. A special attention was paid to the geomorphological control on sedimentation and karstification. The consequences of differential erosion
The structure and geomorphology of the Dashgil mud volcano, Azerbaijan
The large-scale and small-scale structure and geomorphology of the active Dashgil mud volcano in central Azerbaijan, have been studied. Through historical records it is known that this mud volcano has major eruptions every 6-32 years. The activity
of the mud volcano and the processes responsible for the observed Dashgil geomorphology are discussed. The natural contribution of atmospheric greenhouse gases from the world's mud volcanoes is highly significant.
Geomorphology and sedimentary record of three cuspate forelands as indicators of Late Holocene relative sea-level changes, Disko, West Greenland
C 14 dating ; Coastal geomorphology ; Core sampling ; Glacial isostasy ; Grain size distribution ; Greenland ; Holocene ; Intertidal zone ; Lagoon ; Quaternary ; Salt marsh ; Sea level ; Stratigraphy ; Vertical movement
The purpose of this investigation is to reconstruct the trend of the early-middle Holocene emergence of western Disko and to point out possible transgression phases during late Holocene. The geomorphology of 3 cuspate forelands at Saqqarliit
The geologic and biologic diversity, multiphase tectonics and special geomorphologic phenomena formed the Protected Landscape Region Železné hory (Ferrons Mts.). Changes of river and valley network, attractive local relief and geoenvironmental
Automated mapping ; Coastal environment ; Computing ; Digitization ; England ; Geographical information system ; Geomorphological mapping ; Norfolk ; Photogrammetry ; Salt marsh ; Software ; United Kingdom
This paper presents an up-to-date digital map of a classic British coastal landform, Blakeney Point in north Norfolk, and argues for the wider use of readily available, PC-based graphics software in geomorphological cartography.
Soils and climatic geomorphology on the Karnataka Plateau, peninsular India
of the Karnataka Plateau. In the light of these interpretations, some tenets of climatic and general geomorphology in the Tropics, which have become engrained in the literature, are revisited.

the sedimentology and geomorphology of the spit and of the tidal flat behind it (Spurn Bight), and assesses the effects of coastal defences on the nearshore dynamics. The geomorphology and sedimentology of the beaches and the tidal flat were studied to assess
Through the interpretation of sedimentological, geomorphological, paleoclimatic and tectonic information the geomorphic evolution of the Transdanubian Mountains from the Cretaceous to the Quaternary is presented. Several sedimentary cycles occurred
The influence of geomorphologic heritage on present nival erosion : Peñalara, Spain
it accumulates over sedimentary or weathered materials, therefore geomorphological heritage is a key factor in nival erosion. To test this hypothesis, the AA. identified the landforms in the study area and determined their relative ages by weathering
Recent aeolian origin of surficial gypsum crusts in southern Tunisia : geomorphological, archaeological and remote sensing evidence
This paper provides new evidence on both the mode of formation and the age of surficial gypsum crusts by studying archaeological, remote sensing and geomorphological evidence from surficial gypsum deposits in the Chott Fedjaj basin and northern part
The influence of a large anthropogenic sediment source on the fluvial geomorphology of the Knabeåna-Kvina rivers, Norway
This study describes the fluvial geomorphology along the Knabeåna-kvina rivers downstream of the Knaben Molybdenum Mines, Southern Norway. Special attention is paid to the changes caused by introduction of tailings with elevated molybdenum
