The Carpatho-Balkan-Dinaric Regional Working Group of the
International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG/AIG) began its
activities at the 6th International Conference of Geomorphology,
organized in Zaragoza. Working Group has rapidly expanded since then
and currently counts more than 100 members in 11 countries. Th is
supplement issue of Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie contains a
selection of papers illustrating the main lines of research in member
countries. The papers were presented and discussed at the Carpatho-
Balkan-Dinaric Conference on Geomorphology (Pécs, Hungary, October
24–28, 2007), the most recent occasion for exchange of experience for
geomorphologists working in the region.
The four sections of the present issue are arranged around four main topics of the Conference. As a general background to the northwestern structural units of the Carpatho- Balkanic-Dinaric Region, the first three papers summarize the results of studies on the morphotectonics and geomorphic processes in the Slovakian Western Carpathians and the Bohemian Paradise as well as review the diversity of morphostructural units on the territory of the Czech Republic. Four papers deal with mountain geomorphological research and slope processes. Th e focus here is on landslide hazard assessment and the role of slope processes in relief evolution. Examples are cited from the Carpathians (Poland, Romania) and Julian Alps (Slovenia). Issues in fluvial geomorphology are treated in several papers. Authors are concerned with flash floods in Hungary, muddy floods in Slovakia; while others analyze the drainage area and fluvial terraces of the Tisza River in Hungary in novel methodological approaches. Finally, two papers are devoted to the significance of human impact on topography in general and focusing on river morphometric change.
This supplement issue is meant to provide an overview of research activities in the Carpathian region for the international public as well as to be an incentive to all researchers involved in related topics for cooperation with authors in order to make future investigations more extensive in space and comprehensive in topics.
