This paper reviews recent changes in river management. These changes are characterised by a move from the notion of rivers as stable equilibrium forms to one of dynamic responsive ecosystems. Palaeohydrology is shown to be capable of providing
important and relevant information to river managers. Furthermore a series of emerging frameworks for incorporating geomorphology in river management exist wherein palaeohydrological data and analysis can be directly interfaced with the river management

This paper aims to discuss the limitations of developing potential transfer functions for palaeohydrological reconstructions of climate records in 2 linked ways. First, the effective of hillslope-channel coupling will be assessed to evaluate

This paper is aimed at analysis of the palaeoenvironmental conditions and causes for the palaeohydrological changes, and palaeohydrological reconstruction in the Seim River basin since the Late Pleniglacial. The Seim River system drains the western

Stratigraphic, palynological, sedimentological, geophysical and mollusc analyses of 3 peat cores from palaeomeanders in the floodplain of the Southern Palatine Upper Rhine river valley were used to reconstruct interrelations between palaeohydrologic
Holocene landscape history and palaeohydrology evidenced by stable carbon isotope (δ C 13)analysis of alluvial sediments in the Mbari valley (5°N/23°E), Central African Republic
