In this review, the A. examines the important developments in tectonic geomorphology at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales and the growing interest of geologists in geomorphology in general, and tectonic geomorphology in particular
A century ago the scientific study of landforms was in its Golden Age. In this paper, the AA. are critical of certain modern trends in Geomorphology. In seeking reductionist, mechanistic explanations for geomorphological phenomena, the science has
The A. reviews some recent observational theoretical and applied work in coastal geomorphology in general and then focuses on coastal sand dune studies.
studies and a growing sophistication in both laboratory and field research. The final two sections of the paper do however consider some recent papers on dunes as landforms and other aspects of arid and semi-arid geomorphology.
Two approaches to modelling surface erosion are described which can be used to explain the development of geomorphological features. The first approach uses non-linear wave theory and shows how surface gradient discontinuities can arise
as the erosion of an initially smooth surface proceeds. A second approach uses a computational cellular method. The application of the cellular method to problems of geomorphological interest are discussed.
The purposes of this paper are : 1) to review current hydrodynamic concepts related to meander initiation| and 2) to provide direction for future geomorphologic investigations so that they may contribute directly to theory enhancement. The approach
From a small drainage basin located in Central Italy, relevant geological and geomorphological factors were collected and processed by applying GIS technology. In particular, modules were used which both generate high-fidelity digital terrain models
