Tropical mountain geomorphology and landscape evolution in north-west Thailand
This paper reports a reconnaissance of the geomorphology and Quaternary sediments of the Nam Khong basin both above ground and in karst cave systems in an effort shed more light on the evolution of the mountain landscape and past environments
The joint German-Chinese expedition for the glacial-geomorphological reconstruction of the Pleistocene glacier cover of Tibet was carried out in the summer of 1989. Glacial-geomorphological sequences and series were analysed at altitudes between 2

This paper examines the geological and geomorphological conditions under wich the special riolith-tuff cliffs, the so-called « beehive rocks » south from the Bükk Mountains (NE-Hungary) were formed. - (JS)
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.
Based on historical accounts, publications and reports of engineering experts, it has been possible to identify landslide areas. Additional fossile landslide areas have been identified from drilling logs. In a preliminary detailed geomorphological
