The Upper Nalón River Basin (Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain) exhibits a variety of slope processes and deposits including landslides, rockfall and soil creep. Geomorphic maps were used to quanitatively ascertain the relationships between

with those of climatic change itself. This is illustrated by 2 contrasted case studies : the coastal Cabo de Gata fans in southeast Spain and the Stillwater and Cold Springs fans in Nevada, USA.

The AA. investigate a new method for the study of rockfall incidence at a regional scale over an area of 250 km2 of northern Spain, in the Cantabrian Cordillera. Using a cartographic database supported by a Geographic Information System (GIS
