On the basis of the 12 years of field studies (1975-1987) regularities in the dynamics of high mountain fluvial system in an annual cycle have been determined. The results have been compared with the results obtained for other high mountain regions

General synchrony between late Holocene fluvial chronologies of the central Great Plains suggests climatic control of fluvial activity. The episodes of incision are tentatively correlated with different climate regimes, illustrating the difficulty
of attributing a given fluvial response to a particular direction of climatic change.

L'ensemble des facteurs qui influent sur la dynamique fluviale est représenté sur les tableaux 1 et 2. Prise en compte de différents aspects de l'activité économique (aménagement fluvial, construction de ponts, carrières, ports et quais, mise en
Energy, time, and channel evolution in catastrophically disturbed fluvial systems

One fluvial system, characterized by high relief and coarse-grained sediment, was subjected to an explosive volcanic eruption; the other system, characterized by low relief and fine-grained sediment, was subjected to dredging and straightening. Data
from two sites show convergence towards a minimum specific energy with time. Time-dependent reductions in specific energy at a point act in concert with minimization of the rate of energy dissipation over a reach during channel evolution as the fluvial
The influence of the Włlocławek reservoir on the fluvial processes downstream from the dam and slope processes in the right bank of river is discussed. Then the quantitative and qualitative changes of this influence is presented. Finally
Les AA. exposent les principes et les méthodes utilisés pour établir une carte de la dynamique fluviale de l'URSS au 1:4 000 000 et d'une carte au 1:1 000 000 des unités administratives du territoire de l'Altaï. Sur cette base sont montrées les
fragment et la maquette de la légende de la carte « Géomorphologie et dynamique fluviale de l'URSS d'Europe » au 1:2 000 000.
