Some geomorphological features of late Quaternary tectonic movements at the contact zone between Northern Pamirs and Southern Tian-Shan Mts. are demonstrated. The part of the Alpine - Himalayan orogenic belt form the Vakhsh nappe. - (MS)
Polish geographical investigations in different climato-geomorphological zones. Special issue
This paper presents results of geomorphological and hydrological investigations carried on in selected catchments basins of western Cuba. They represent two types of the tropical karst : classical upland karst of the Sierra de los Organos (catchment
basin of the Cuyaguateje river) and an isolated limestone massif of the Pan de Guajaibon. The values of contemporary chemical denudation being the coefficient of geomorphological activity, have been calculated in several catchment basins.
Geomorphological evidence for late Holocene climatic change in northern Australia
The hypothesis that the late Holocene climate of northern Australia has been characterised by periods of reduced rainfall has been examined by constructing a detailed chronostratigraphy of climatically sensitive geomorphological sites, in particular

New aspects of geomorphological research in the solution of questions related with planning of further anthropogenic loading of socio-economic functions of the city. The new developed methodology is based on morpholithosystemic approach
with the used engineering-geomorphological evaluation. - (MS)

The purpose of this work was to find out the role of geomorphology and climate for available P to plants. It will be analysed by splitting it up into P reserve and P availability. Objects were units of different soil sequences.

This paper combines field and modelling data to argue that the geology and geomorphology of part of the inland margin of the southeast Australian highlands are consistent with isostatic rebound due to erosional unloading during the Neogene.

This paper is founded on experiences from three decades of geomorphological studies of active and relict frost-fissure patterns in different parts of the Nordic countries including Greenland. The climatic conditions necessary for the frost-fissure

The purpose of this paper is to discuss and illustrate, by means of a few examples, how classical equilibrium concepts in geomorphology relate to the analysis of systems and to point out the limits these classical equilibrium concepts impose on our
Overview of the proceedings of the 1992Geomorphology symposium on Geomorphic Systems. Taken as a whole, the symposium papers are interpreted as signalling the possible and of classic equilibrium studies in the sense of searching for a single
