Combining fieldwork and surface data, the AA. have reconstructed the Cenozoic structural and tectonic evolution of the Northern Bresse. Analysis of drainage network geometry allowed to detect 3 major fault zones trending NE-SW, E-W and NW-SE

In this paper, geographic information systems (GIS) software is used to map uplifted coastal terraces in a tectonically active area, the Northern Channel Islands of California. The AA. develop a technique using DTMs to map the distribution extent
, and elevation of coastal terraces, and then demonstrate how the results can be used to describe patterns of tectonic deformation. The technique could also be applied to other problems involving coastal terraces, or to studies involving other similarly shaped
a special emphasis on the discontinuity of the extension processes, which cannot be attributed only to the Early Miocene collapse of the Menderes Massif. It also aims to link the sedimentary infill of the basins with tectonic events. These are evidenced
The results of selected geomorphological studies focused on long term landforms evolution, the role of planation surfaces and differential tectonics, glacial and periglacial processes. Detailed studies have been curried out in the surroundingd

This paper describes valley bottom troughs of the Changiang River and infers the geomorphology development of troughs. The deep troughs are formed by river downcutting along the structural zones on the background of regional tectonic uplift. Trough

. They demonstrate that age has no influence on the form of the longitudinal profiles for the rivers on the exterior side of the Carpathians. This is because tectonic uplift was important, and this phenomenon is still present today.
between the two areas results from various morphogenetic processes of unequal intensity, influenced mainly by the different impact of post-Cretaceous tectonics. The role of time was stressed as well, as a factor indispensable in the development
