Empirical studies, overviews, and descriptions of models, explore how landscapes and landforms respond to geomorphic processes and climate change, to changes in land use, and to built environments. All but four of the 20 papers were presented at an annual conference of the Institute of British Geographers, January 1991 in Sheffield. They include discussions of river channels, the use of Caesium-137 measurements, numerical experiments, and case studies from Britain, Africa, China, the Mediterranean, Australia, and other places.
