This is a new synthesis of the evolution of the section of the Vistula river valley. There are changes in the channel patterns and parameters, sedimentological characteristics of the different alluvial deposits of different ages, the reflection
of both climatic fluctuation and human activity in the valleyfloor morphology and in alluvia. - (DG)
Fluvial chronology and valleyfloorevolution of the upper Bowmont valley, Borders Region, Scotland
This paper presents data from a number of sources (aerial photographic interpretation, field mapping, cartographic, radiocarbon and palynological dating), in order to establish limits to the ages of valleyfloor terraces on one such upland stream
Holocene development of the River Lippe valley, Germany : a case study of anthropogenic influence
This article describes the Inselterrasse and Aue in detail and explains the Holocene development of the Lippe valleyfloor morphology, which is atypical for a central European river. It is shown that morphological evolution of the Lippe valleyfloor
is a special case of anthropogenic influence that might be an interesting addition to previous studies of human impacts on palaeohydrology, channel change and valleyfloor development (Gregory, 1995; Brown, 1996; Kalicki,1996).
There exist two systems of valleys. The subsequent system, based on a flat central ridge, disturbed the older, more extensive net of consequent valleys by numerous piracies. This development took place mainly during the Pleistocene. - (MS)
This paper presents the state of knowledge on the evolution of river valleys in the Upper Quaternary. It is followed by full index of localisations, where dated Vistulian and Holocene sediments were found. The transformation of river valleys
Valley stretches abandoned by watercourses at Quaternary, represent district landforms of the fluvial erosion-accumulation relief in the northern part of the Bohemian Upland. Four abandoned valleys and numerous Ohře River meanders were discussed

This paper examines the stability of river channels and their associated valleyfloors in the uplands of Scotland since 1750. Changes in global-scale atmospheric circulation patterns during this period have resulted in regionally district flood-rich
Floodplain evolution in a New South Wales coastal valley, Australia : spatial process variations
Special issue : Floodplain evolution
The different forms of valley-floor troughs and their long-profile variability are described prior to a discussion of age implications for the floodplain and Holocene evolution in the Bellinger Valley.
The next collectionof papers on the evolution of Vistula and tributary valleys includes synthetic reviews on various reaches: Vistula near the junction with Raba (by P. Gębica), lower Dunajec (by T. Sokołowski), middle reach of Wisłoka (by L
paleomeanders in the upper Vistula valley (by T. Kalicki and V.P. Zernickaya) and lower Wisłoka (by L. Starkel and W. Ganoszewski). Two other papers by T. Kalicki and M. Krapiec from Wisłoka valley discuss the importance of endrochronological method for dating
in separate terrace fills. The second-order fluctuations may be represented by separate cuts and fills, by the change of the facies or in the granulometric composition. The analysis of the changes in the longitudinal profile helped to discover different valley

A characterization of the geomorphologic conditions of the Ohře river valley in the neighbourhood of Doupov mountains. The terrace system and the slope conditions of the river bed in relation to the morphostructure and genesis of the relief
. The Ohře river valley in the neovolcanic Doupov mountains has been originated in Miocene in a zone of tectonic bend between the basalt lava streams of the stratovolcan centre and volcanic bodies in the northern rim. - (MS)

Labe canyon valley in the Děčín Highland is the erosion base of the major part of the river network in the Bohemian Massif. Its development is followed since the Neogene up to the recent time, maintly with regard to the interference
Last century valleyfloor modifications of the Trigno river (Southern Italy) : a preliminary report
for the last decades significant modifications of the channel pattern and a marked reduction of the floodplain width, accompained by a progressive valleyfloor terracing due to channel bed lowering. Analyses of possible controls on river behaviour, both natural
The recent evolution and present dynamics of the Trigno river was investigated by analysing morphological features and changes with time of the main channel system and the associated floodplain. The study allowed to point out in particular

The survey on results of geomorphological research on clinched and abandoned Ohře valley meanders and bends in the basin brings notes about their genesis. These forms were developing since the end of the Middle Pleistocene in appropriate
Sous l'influence de l'écoulement superficiel l'évolution du relief se fait dans un mouvement d'aller-retour. Le processus fluviatile représente l'unité dialectique de tendances s'excluant mutuellement. L'accumulation accompagne l'érosion comme une
High-mountain valleyfloorsevolution during regression of alpine glaciers in the Massif des Ecrins, France
The age of recent glacial, glacifluvial/fluvial forms is determined using lichenomeric dating in 2 Alpine valleys of the Massif des Ecrins. A lichen growth-curve is based on data from natural sites, such as boulder-fields, moraine ridges etc
