Geomorphological significance of lichen colonization in a present snow hollow : Hoya del Cuchillar de las Navajas, Sierra de Gredos (Spain)
This paper discusses the results of a lichenometrical and geomorphological study of one of the few remaining active snow hollows in the central region of the Iberian Peninsula. The study area, located on a glacial shoulder, is called Hoya del
Cuchillar de las Navajas. A protalus rampart occurs at the base of the hollow. The studies, conducted between 1992 and 1998, were designed to determine the geomorphological characteristics of Hoya, the mobility of the deposits, and the characteristics
Geomorphological features of the lagoonal system of Lèsina (Apulia, south-eastern Italy) are highlighted in this paper ; it has been possible to point out the late Quaternary evolution of this coastal transitional environment through morphological
The results of the detailed geomorphological research in the years 1998-2000. The continuation of significant tectonic movements in the Quaternary is signaled by the considerable extension of the proluvial formation on the contact of the Cantoryja

The impact of present lahars on the geomorphologic evolution of proglacial gorges : Popocatepetl, Mexico
examines the geomorphologic evolution of these gorges since 1992 and focuses particularly on the landforms created by the most recent lahars of July 1997. The research suggests that the transport capacity of the lahars has increased despite the fact
Geomorphological variability among microtidal estuaries from the wave-dominated South African coast
Most of these microtidal estuaries have acquired their present morphology during the Holocene marine transgression. A variety of geomorphological forms are identified that result from variation in antecedent topography, fluvial sediment supply
Mass movements of various ages on the Swabian Jurassic escarpment : geomorphologic processes and their causes
Geomorphologic and pedologic field mapping, differentiation of solifluction layers and mineralogical analyses were employed to examine the mass movements. The goal of the investigations was to distinguish between Holocene and Pleistocene landslides

The case study of Serra da Estrela, Portugal is the development of an integrated methodology for the identification of landscape units in Mediterranean mountains. The research focuses on geomorphology, climatology and phytosociology. The results
attention to the geographical preconditions. In the course of field work geomorphological features (main landform types, slope categories, relief dissection, etc.) of the Tolnai-Hegyhát region (SW-Hungary) were studies and mapped at a scale of 1:10 000
Based on geomorphological field work the mapping of former lateral/terminal moraines in the middle segment of the Bhotekoshi Nadi is quite similar to the geomorphological findings of Heuberger (1956). The deductive calculation of the equilibrium
