This paper deals with an application of geomorphological methods such as morphostructural analysis, detailed geomorphological mapping and computer analysis in the Geographical Information System ARC/INFO, in the field and discusses their application
at the building trade, ecology, etc. The A. applied them to geomorphological research in the northeastern part of the Hercynian Bohemian Highlands.

Following an outline of palaeogeography, author gives an overall geomorphological description and map of the landscape. The landforms are primarily controlled by fluvial accumulation, derasion and tectonic processes. (DLO).
The geomorphological mapping of the Mejametalana catchment, Maseru in Sediment sources, sediment residence time and sediment transfer-Case studies of soil erosion in the Lesotho lowlands.
The geomorphological units of the area were delineated on the 1961 aerial photographs using the ITC geomorphological mapping method as modified by Schmitz and Verstappen (1980) for Lesotho| identification of vegetation types.
was used to reconstruct the geomorphological evolution of Monte Vulture. The evolution was strongly influenced by recent tectonic activity linked to 4 main tectonic directions NW-SE, NE-SW, E-W, N-S oriented.

On examine brièvement les antécédents des développements contemporains en géomorphologie et on met en relief quelques-uns des champs dans lesquels il y a des percées. La géomorphologie périglaciaire, la géomorphologie de montagne, la morphologie
fluviale, la néotectonique, la géomorphologie historique et régionale sont abordées. Abondante bibliographie.―(L. Dion).

This paper summarises the results of a geomorphological and landscape analytical research on a sample area, the Szentendre island in the Danube. On the basis of detailed geomorphological, pedological, botanical surveys and micro-climatological
The geomorphology and geomorphological history of the Velence mountains, which are strongly denuded and fragmented and of low-medium height, is elaborated on. The structure of the mountains are analysed along with the denudation process. - (JS)
Examination of the literature and recent geomorphological and morphotectonic surveys have been employed to delineate the main steps in the morphotectonic evolution of this interesting area lying on the boundary between the Alps and the Apennines.

The geomorphological study and cartography of the summit area of the Gran Sasso d'Italia are presented. The area is located between the Corno Grande and the Corno Piccolo. The area also contains a geomorphologic rarity, the Ghiacciaio del Calderone
by a geomorphologic map. Particular attention has been paid to the graphic and informative solutions proposed in order to describe interacting processes and landforms both at the spatial and temporal level. - (NF)
