  • Decades of change : contributions of geomorphology to fluvial and coastal engineering and management
  • Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
  • Applied geomorphology ; Coastal environment ; England ; Environment ; Environmental management ; Geotechnics ; Model ; River management ; Stream ; United Kingdom ; Years 1990-99
  • Major developments in the contribution of geomorphology to engineering and environmental management have taken place over the past ten years in the United Kingdom, particularly in the coastal and fluvial spheres. This paper is not focused
  • on the results of specific applied studies, though examples are given, but rather aims to show that the policy, social, and wider scientific context has a profound influence on the opportunities for contribution of geomorphology and the type of work that is done.

  • Fluvial geomorphology and river engineering : future roles utilizing a fluvial hydrosystems framework
  • Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
  • Applied geomorphology ; Bank erosion ; Ecosystem ; Flood ; Floodplain ; Hydrosystem ; Impact ; Mass movement ; River management ; Scotland ; Stream ; United Kingdom
  • Rather than looking back and examining the linkage between geomorphology and engineering over the last few decades, this paper seeks to identify how fluvial geomorphologists can further their contribution to the field engineering and educate
  • engineers about the value of geomorphology. Areas in which geomorphologists will increasingly be able to complement engineers in river management include risk and environmental impact assessment, floodplain planning, river audits, determination of instream

  • The AA. examine the range of these cities developed in the tropics with reference to 1) their site-related problems, 2) the nature of geomorphological information required for specific ameliorating actions, and 3) the level of management required
  • for city maintenance. Management requires interfacing geomorphology with engineering practices and urban planning. They present case studies of cities ranging from those with limited problems and possible engineering and land-zoning solutions (Singapore

  • Time and the persistence of alluvium : river engineering, fluvial geomorphology, and mining sediment in California
  • Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
  • This paper describes fundamental differences between river engineering and fluvial geomorphology, reviews a few time-related geomorphic concepts, and argues for an increased use of historical geomorphology in river management. It finishes

  • A geomorphological strategy for conducting environmental impact assessments in karst areas
  • Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
  • The primary goal of this paper is to offer a standard yet flexible approach to karst environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and to show how geomorphological methods can be used to develop more comprehensive and quantifiable EIAs in karst areas
