In the paper the A. outlines the results of a geologic and geomorphologic survey carried out in a sector of the Calore River basin (Telesina Valley), located in the Benevento Province (Southern Appenines, Italy). The data analysis conducted allowed
North American periglacial geomorphology as a branch of geocryology : a brief history
After a brief review of the disciplinary nature of geocryology and periglacial geomorphology, this paper discusses how and why North American periglacial geomorphology has shifted toward the discipline of geocryology.

This paper outlines the principles of cellular modelling in fluvial geomorphology and addresses issues of model formulation and validation in the context of numerical modelling more generally. In doing so it seeks to highlight the prospects
This paper presents the results of a geological and geomorphological study carried out in the central-western area of the Carsoli basin (AQ) during the survey of the Geomorphological Sheet 367 Tagliacozzo. The existence of a local Middle Pleistocene

Since the 1960s the analysis of small-scale surface processes has been the dominant approach in geomorphology. It has recently been acknowledged that small-scale, surface process geomorphology alone is unable to provide an understanding of long-term
that are revolutionizing landscape evolution studies. Two distinct communities of researchers have emerged concerned with different scales of landform analysis, but the progress of geomorphology will be best served by greater interaction between them.
Dams and geomorphology : research progress and future directions
Dams and geomorphology. Special issue
This paper reviews the development of geomorphological knowledge of channel changes below dams in 3 phases : channel dynamics, the role of riparian vegetation, and channel change as the driver of ecological regime or steady-state models should
Geomorphology and American dams : the scientific, social, and economic context
Dams and geomorphology. Special issue
This paper emphasizes the downstream effects of dams. In the scientific context, present research is embedded in a history of geomorphology in government service, with indistinct boundaries between basic and applied research. The federal policy
that most strongly influences present geomorphological investigations connected with dams is related to habitat for endangered species, because the biological aspects of ecosystems are directly dependent on the substrate formed by the sediments and landforms
Mapping the spatial distribution of geomorphological processes in the Okstindan area of northern Norway, using Geomorphic Process Units as derived from remote sensing and ground survey

The delineation of Geomorphic Process Units (GPUs) aims to quantify past, current and future geomorphological processes and the sediment flux associated with them. Five GPUs have been identified for the Okstindan area of northern Norway
by glacial and periglacial processes. The GPUs are focussed upon periglacial and colluvial processes. They have been applied to a test site in order to illustrate their potential for mapping the spatial distribution of geomorphological processes.
Geomorphology and geochronology of sackung features (uphill-facing scarps) in the Central Spanish Pyrenees
This paper analyses the sackung features found in 2 neighbouring glacial valleys of the central Spanish Pyrenees. The main aspects addressed in this work are : the geomorphology of the sackung-type features; the chronology of the uphill-facing

The AA. investigated the alluvial stratigraphy, soils, and geomorphology along a section of the lower Little Cedar River to aid in understanding the processes forming this landform region. They used terrace- and floodplain surface height above
