Geomorphological analysis of the Stožecká hornatina (Mountains)
Czech Republic ; Geomorphology ; Mountain
A complex geomorphological analysis of the relief of Stožecká hornatina Mts (Šumava). The structural relief features and a high number of cryogenous forms give to that territory an original geomorphological character, which is only seldom

This paper reviews the geomorphological content of the 120 Natural Area Profiles, eight regional summaries and the relevant pages of the English Nature web site. It concludes that wildlife conservation, which dominates the profiles, has fully
grasped the principles of conservation in the wider countryside, but geomorphological conservation has largely missed the opportunities provided. What is needed is a strengthening of geomorphological/Quaternary conservation with English Nature and its
Local Area Teams, a more detailed approach to geomorphological description of the Natural Areas which recognizes landform evolution, landform character and sensititvity to change, and improved links between geomorphology and the land-use planning system.
This paper examines the philosophical, theoretical and practical problems involved in bridging the gap between studies of geomorphological processes and explanations of landscape development. It argues that process geomorphology is essentially
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

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 aim of this paper is to compare and contrast available geomorphological, cartographic, satellite, archaeological and historical data, in order to locate precisely and date former river channels and former deltaic mouths. The AA. also present
a comprehensive dynamic geomorphological account of the development of the deltas since the 7th century BC. From the end of the 16th century, an acceleration of the processes of changes in the river courses and progression of the deltas can be detected, affecting

Relief profiles and a slope category map of the area are presented with the main geomorphic levels. Relief screening (luminance map) is suitable to watch the main geomorphological features, valleys and their directions, macro-forms, etc. - (JS)
This paper gives an overwiev about the geomorphological effects of climatic changes in the Carpathian Basin during the late Miocene, early Pleistocene period. In this period the climate changed into a semi-desert or an almost desert one which
is explained and justified by geomorphological evidences and mammal remnants by the author. - (JS)
This paper provides an evolution of geomorphological surfaces effected by plate tectonic, erosion and accumulation in the Carpathian Basin. The basis of the study is a model for the geomorphologic evolution of the Transdanubian Mountains, North
Geomorphological evidence for fluvial change during the Roman period in the lower Rhone valley (southern France)
The hydrological and geomorphological dynamics of the lower Rhone river are studied during the Roman period. The crossing of archaeological and radiocarbon dating methods allow to study events at a pluridecadal to centennial scale. Therefore the AA
Geomorphological significance of lichen colonization in a present snow hollow : Hoya del Cuchillar de las Navajas, Sierra de Gredos (Spain)
This paper discusses the results of a lichenometrical and geomorphological study of one of the few remaining active snow hollows in the central region of the Iberian Peninsula. The study area, located on a glacial shoulder, is called Hoya del
Cuchillar de las Navajas. A protalus rampart occurs at the base of the hollow. The studies, conducted between 1992 and 1998, were designed to determine the geomorphological characteristics of Hoya, the mobility of the deposits, and the characteristics
Geomorphological features of the lagoonal system of Lèsina (Apulia, south-eastern Italy) are highlighted in this paper ; it has been possible to point out the late Quaternary evolution of this coastal transitional environment through morphological
