This paper aims to define the role of Geomorphology in the assessment of the impact of human activities on the environment. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) should be carried out for specific projects, in order to evaluate their suitability
for the quality of the environment. The relationships between humans and environment are taken into account, with particular attention to the effects of a project on the geomorphological environment. Examples of different are presented.
This paper reviews and reconsiders the various equilibria concepts. Because the term is most frequently used qualitatively rather than quantitatively in geomorphology, conflation, imprecision, and outright error have been promoted. Given
Detailed geomorphological analysis of the relief forms in the presumed inundation area of the Krkavec dam on the Nežárka river in South Bohemia. Geological and tectonic characteristics, fluvial, eolian, gravitational, organogenic and antropogenic

Though climatic geomorphology has long been perceived as providing a realistic framework for landform analysis, only the arid , nival and glacial systems and some constructional forms on the coast are readily identified in the landscape, present

. The strength of this approach is in its affinity to the commonsense perceptional basis that underpins human action. Geomorphological floods studies, including recent advances in paleoflood hydrology, are needed as a complement to conventional hydrological

Ore Mountains belong among thoroughly investigated parts of the Bohemian massif. The survey of geomorphological research is related to the Central Part (St. Catherine Dome). - (MS)
At Posse, primary gold mineralization occurs near the base of a sequence of metamorphosed volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. During the Velhas geomorphological cycle (Oligocene to Lower Pleistocene) the region experienced extensive lateritization
. The observed gold distribution in the weathering profile has arisen through saprolitization during the Velhas cycle, then leaching, compaction and downward (and limited lateral) transport of gold during pedogenesis. The climatic and geomorphological history
The paper examines relations among present and past geomorphological processes and the landforms of the Polická vrchovina Highland in the Bohemian Massif. The basin structure of the highland developed during the neotectonic period. The relative
uplift of the Highland resulted in the incision of the Metuje River and its tributaries. Unloading of rocks and erosion initiated typical geomorphological processes such as deep-seated creep, cambering, rockfalls, landslides and pseudokarst processes

Deterministic complexity (chaos) may be common in geomorphic systems, but traditional definitions may have limited practical utility for empirical geomorphology. Further, chaos analysis depends on distinguishing deterministic complexity from
uncertainty is more useful in process geomorphology than that of chaos.
