locations of rocks and rock formations, their morphometry and shape, and the microrelief of rock faces. This leads on to a discussion of the Gorge’s overall relief, as well as an indication as to the main geomorphological processes shaping it. – (BJ)
Soil erosion assessment using geomorphological remote sensing techniques : an example from southern Italy
The aim of this study is to assess of the distribution and map the geomorphological effects of soil erosion at the basin scale identifying newly-formed erosional landsurfaces (NeFELs), by means of an integration of Landsat ETM 7+ remotely sensed
data and field-surveyed geomorphological data. The study was carried out in a typical Mediterranean area located in southern Italy. The study area was first characterized from a lithological, pedological, land-use and morpho-topographic point of view
Micro-geomorphology determines community structure of biological soil crusts at small scales
This paper considers the contribution of micro-geomorphology to biodiversity in the extreme arid desert systems. The AA. tested the hypothesis that micro-geomorphological features determine the spatial distribution of biological soil crusts (BSCs

Cover sand is ubiquitous across much of northern South Africa, yet few areas have been geomorphologically investigated. Work on the cover sands at the Hackthorne 1 Stone Age site provide an opportunity to investigate the granulometry
and geomorphology of artefact-bearing sands overlying weathered, calcretized Miocene alluvial deposits. - (AJC)
Location of a pre-Angkor city in relation to geomorphological features of lower reach of the Stung Sen River, central Cambodia
Geomorphology and geoarchaeology : cross-contribution. Geoarcheological session
The location of Sambor Prei Kuk is discussed in relation to the geomorphological characteristics of lower reach of the Stung Sen River and the requirements of the inhabitants. The uplands were divided into upland I (hills), and uplands II and III
Experimentation at the interface of fluvial geomorphology, stream ecology and hydraulic engineering and the develoment of an effective, interdisciplinary river science
of mutual benefit and led to greater insights than discipline-specific work would have produced. Looking forward to 2020, several key challenges for experimentalists working on the interface of fluvial geomorphology, stream ecology and hydraulic engineering
of analyses were used : the historical analysis, the hydrological analysis and the geomorphological analysis. The hydro-geomorphological analyses showed the peculiarities of the 2005 flood event. The maximum rainfall return period for the 2005 event was due
Geomorphological dynamics of subhumid mountain badland areas - weathering, hydrological and suspended sediment transport processes : A case study in the Araguás catchment (Central Pyrenees) and implications for altered hydroclimatic regimes
affecting badland areas are the principal factors controlling geomorphological development, and the extreme hydrological and sedimentological responses of badlands are the main effects of such morphologies. Given these results, possible responses of badland
