) and their effectiveness in terms of rock breakdown, and secondly in terms of the totality of weathering and its effectiveness in terms of larger-scale geomorphological change.Finally, the importance of the ideas of frequency and magnitude as applied to weathering
of structural conditions. The aims of this study are : to test the view that drainage networks can be described as fractal objects, to measure the dimension of such objects and to evaluate quantitatively their geomorphological significance. Preliminary results
Geomorphology of the sub-Antarctic Australian Territory of Heard Island-McDonald Island
Australia ; Climatic variation ; Coastal geomorphology ; Fluvioglacial features ; Glacial features ; Glacier ; Island ; Lava flow ; Moraine ; Periglacial features ; Sea level ; Volcanism
The geomorphology of Heard Island-McDonald Island is primarily the product of close interplay between volcanism, glaciation, and vigourous marine processes in a stormy sub-Antarctic environment. The dominant landform is the strato-volcano Big Ben
Landscape antiquity of the Central-Eastern Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina) : geomorphological evolution since Gondwanic times
Tectonic geomorphology
levelled the regional relief are identified by using geomorphological, geometrical structural and sedimentological criteria. Due to the Pampean faulting and uplifting during the last 10 Ma, almost all surfaces have been broken and tilted. The described
Geomorphologic characteristics of the Kyushu-Palau Ridge, Philippine Sea
Tectonic geomorphology
Results of the geomorphological analysis of bathymetric and dredge data, obtained in 1985-1990 during several cruises of Russian research vessels in the area between 12°N and 17°N near the Kyushu-Palau Ridge juncture with the Central Basin Fault
Field observation combined with remote sensing, employing both Landsat images and aerial photographs, and the analysis of topographic, geomorphological and geological maps show that the regional contrasts in seismicity and associated tectonic
activity are reflected in differences in morphology along the coast. Six distinct morphotectonic zones are identified on the basis of their correlation with regional tectonics and areas of differing levels of seimicity. A range of geomorphological evidence
Le point sur les articles, publiés de 1989 à 1999, concernant la géomorphologie littorale de Nouvelle-Zélande. Tous les milieux littoraux sont étudiés : chenaux de marée, estuaires, lagunes, plage, zone de déferlement, plate-forme d'abrasion, et
A geomorphological strategy for conducting environmental impact assessments in karst areas
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
The primary goal of this paper is to offer a standard yet flexible approach to karst environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and to show how geomorphological methods can be used to develop more comprehensive and quantifiable EIAs in karst areas
A contribution to the knowledge of the geomorphologic development of the Upper Vltava river valley between Lipno-dam and Rožmberk nad Vltavou, using the terrace system reconstruction and comparison with Neogene gravel locations in the Vltava-Danube

Geomorphology, stratigraphy, and radiocarbon chronology of Llanquihue drift in the area of the southern Lake District, Seno Reloncaví, and Isla Grande de Chiloé, Chile
This paper presents the geomorphology, stratigraphy, and radiocarbon chronology of extensive moraine belts deposited in the region of the southern Chilean Lake District and Seno Reloncaví, as well as on Isla Grande de Chiloé, by Andean piedmont ice
