Play: the handmaiden of work

Special issue: geomorphology at work
Applied geomorphology ; Concept ; Desertification ; Ecology ; Fluvial processes ; Geomorphology ; Global change ; Human impact ; Soil erosion
The title of this symposium represented in this special issue, properly conveys the application of information from geology to the concerns of society. The A. has chosen to discuss geomorphology at play, not to contrast it with work, but rather
to point out what it sometimes called play. Each of the papers represents a contribution to the better utilization and management of natural resources based on an understanding of the geomorphology of the system, including its form and processes.

Challenges and objectives for geomorphology in U.K. river management
Special issue: geomorphology at work
Applied geomorphology ; Bank erosion ; Drainage ; England ; Flood ; Floodplain ; Fluvial erosion ; Fluvial processes ; Human impact ; River management ; United Kingdom ; Wales ; Watershed
This paper reviews some of the challenges and objectives in the application of fluvial geomorphology to improved river management in the U.K. It describes the mechanisms by which geomorphology can be applied to solve problems, including
the development of design guidance, policy, management approaches, procedures and training. Perhaps some of the most significant challenges for luvial geomorphology in U.K. river management during the next decade will concern river and floodplain restoration.

Sediment-related river maintenance: the role of fluvial geomorphology
Special issue: geomorphology at work
This paper addresses the role that fluvial geomorphology might play in the management of sediment-related river maintenance in the U.K. A methodology for conducting a geomorphological survey, or fluvial audit, is presented, which synthesizes

The Spey Bay geomorphological study

The Spey Bay geomorphological study
Special issue: geomorphology at work
The Spey Bay coastline and the estuary of the River Spey exhibit a rapidly evolving planform. They provide an opportunity to study geomorphological changes in a coupled coastal/estuarine system which can be measured over hours and days rather than
the years and decades associated with more slowly evolving landscape features. The improved understanding of geomorphological processes that has been achieved has enabled engineers to formulate a new management strategy. Methods used included historical
