Specifically, this paper focuses on ways to employ computer technology to present geomorphologic information and progress through a hierarchy of knowledge from first-order facts to higher-order ideas, to a level of understanding of dynamic, Earth
-system science. The AA. provide examples from their classes and address issues associated with plagiarism and intellectual property rights. Teaching and research in geomorphology are undergoing a beneficial, but sometimes problematic, transition
with the new technology. Geomorphology can only prosper from the benefits offered by computer technologies.
The educational value of the history of geomorphology

This essay concerns the history of geomorphology and its value as a pedagogical device. A thematic set of the historic literature can be used to demonstrate to students the scientific method, the origin, testing, and evolution of hypotheses, how
explanations develop in this field, and that science proceeds through individual working in a sociological context. Including history of geomorphology in the curriculum helps to place contemporary research in the perspective of the past as well
for learning about geomorphology : cross sections of landforms, effects of geomorphologic process, roadcuts as landforms, miniature landforms, small-scale landform analogs.

hydrology and geomorphology play an important role in understanding the dynamics of the present bird population and in designing a recovery plan. The installation and operation of dams are the most important causes of hydro-geomorphic and ecological change
