The concept of geomorphological sensitivity provides a useful starting point for identifying sensitive upland landscapes. This paper develops a geo-ecological pespective which unites both habitat and ecological dependencies in fragile upland

This paper demonstrates a robust methodology for the C 14 dating of geomorphological sequences using a case study from the lower Ribble valley, northwest England. The approach adopted incorporates using greater number of ages, targeting plant
of fluvial change means that it is critical that chronological control is sufficiently resourced with C 14 measurements. This approach has potential value in constraining the sequence of geomorphological development at scales that vary from individual sites
to a catchment or region, furthering understanding of forcing and change in geomorphological systems.

In this paper the terminology used in long-term geomorphology is evaluated. Long-term geomorphology is the study of landforms that are mostly pre-Quaternary, Cenozoic, Mesozoic or even Palaeozoic age. Many terms have been introduced to name the long
-term scale landforms that persist to the present. The definitions of many of these terms are ambiguous, have changed over time, and their use and meaning is consequently often unclear. An attempt is made to clarify definitions. Long-term geomorphology
The influence of contemporary flow regime on the geomorphology of the Sabie river, South Africa
This paper presents the results of an investigation into the relationship between flow magnitude and frequency, and the geomorphological units of the Sabie River in the Mpumalanga Province. The river is perennial, however, it exhibits an extreme

Deterioration processes on archaelogical sites of Chellah and Oudayas (world cultural heritage, Rabat, Morocco) restoration test and recommendations
to introduce an innovative restoration method intended to reduce their progressive degradation. Gravitational instability (e.g. Oudayas) and erosion (e.g. Chellah) from fluvial-littoral geomorphological processes, regional seismicity, and certain anthropic
La flèche de mi-baie, l'Inch, représente le plus important complexe dunaire du littoral sud-ouest de l'Irlande. Etude des héritages de la dernière glaciation sur les formes et formations littorales de la baie de Dingle et mise en évidence de
Une cartographie à grande échelle à Rushikonda le long de la côte de Visakhapatnam a révélé plusieurs héritages morphologiques, tels que des terrasses alluviales, des terrasses d'abrasion marine, des dunes littorales sableuses et des buttes de sable
The aim of this paper is to show the way to answer the following principal questions in geomorphology : 1/ Features of the existing landscape and their elements inherited from the past ; 2/ Present-day processes and transformation of the existing
