| Publisher Description: This volume presents a collection of papers by specialists contributing to the activities of the International Geographical Union Commission on Natural Hazard Studies. The main topics are morphotectonic activities, slope movements, glacial, erosion and weathering hazards and man-made rapid modellation processes. Research on basic geomorphological hazards in high mountains can be understood not only as a set of case studies, but primarily as a rare opportunity for the preparation of theoretical models and for the understanding of the general architecture of the origin of natural disasters. |
