The aim of this study is to provide basic data on the geological structure of Kuwait, revealed through morphostructural analysis. Analysis of geomorphic data in relation to the geological, structural and tectonic evolution has resulted
in the construction of the first morphostructural map of Kuwait which may be considered as the first step towards elucidating the neotectonic evolution.

Over the last years the Institute of Geography of Bucharest started to achieve a new geomorphic map of Romania - scale 1/25.000, each sheet covering a surface of 85 sqkm. The legend includes 217 features, classified into 10 classes of geological
background and 9 classes of landforms: denudational, fluvial, lacustrine, sea and coastal, glacial and periglacial, karst, eolian, volcanic, structural and anthropic. This paper contains a sample of this map Alba-Iulia sheet, printed in black
, with an explanatory text and the legend of 3 classes of landforms: denudational, fluvial and anthropic, and the geological background. - (M. Vârlan).

the Park. It also enabled a rapid production of geological and soils maps. As a side issue the geological and geomorphological history was determined.
A reconnaissance survey of a proposed National Park in Western Samoa employed techniques of terrain classification largely based on geomorphology. This provided a data base of maps and Land System descriptions valuable in establishing and managing
been obtained and analyzed and, by combining these data with the geomorphological and geological data, a hazard assessment map has been produced for the highway. This map may be used to improve the development of the highway, decreasing the danger
This paper describes the use of geomorphological mapping in the assessment of the natural hazards along a highway in eastern Taiwan, Taroko Gorge. Detailed records of the size and occurrence of rockfalls and landslides affecting the highway have

. That classification is shown in the legend of the map. Present comment describes first of all contemporary morphogenetic processes and compares the map with other maps concerning geological structure and relief of that area.―(D'après l'A.).
The map covers the coastal plains Bjørnbeinflyene and Olsokflyene and the mountain massifs Hilmarfjellet and Karentoppen. The Quaternary deposits are classified according to their genesis, petrographic and mechanical composition and thickness
Selected areas in northern Ireland, where there is over 95% vegetation cover, are examined in order to illustrate that the analysis of satellite imagery can be an important technique for the acquisition of geological and geomorphological information

This study included interpretation of aerial photographs, detailed geologicmapping of surficial deposits at trench sites, profiling fault scarps, excavating and mapping trenches at two sites, and radiocarbon dating key stratigraphic units
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.
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
In 1983, a pilot project was initiated for an applied geomorphological mapping programme for Indonesia, financed by a World Bank loan. The area between Semarang and Rembang, central Java, was selected as being quite representative for the Indonesian
territory, and the programme can be regarded as an example of a survey applicable to environmental planning and management as well as to the standard geological, pedological and hydrological surveys. (AIS).
A new 1:50 000 Geomorphological Map of the Trigno river basin (Molise Region, Italy) is being presented and discussed in this paper. It contains information about the materials and methods used as well as the geological-geomorphological setting
of the mapped area. Moreover the present paper explains the meaning of the less standardised terms used in the Key and gives additional information about the age, magnitude and/or causal factors of some geomorphic phenomena recognised in the area. - (NF)

and to induce a model for landslide hazard zoning using readily available data. The hazard maps are compared, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to a landslide-hazard map of the same area previously created by USGS (United States Geological Survey
Genetic programming (GP) is presented as a technique to induce models that can be used with GIS data to map landslides hazard zones. This study explores the use of GP to discover causative or associative factors most important to landslides
