Abstract

The central themes of this volume are the dynamics and evolution of Romania’s relief. The two aforementioned conceptual frameworks resulted from the different ways in which time was approached in geomorphology: the ‘short timeframe’ during which landforms change to a small extent; the ‘long timeframe’ required for ‘historical’ transformations of the relief. Time scales of interest in this volume range from the shorter time frame (for the more intensive change rate of the landforms—i.e. soil erosion on experimental plots, debris flow, avalanches) to the largest temporal scales (for the glacial landforms, floodplains or longitudinal profiles). The area of interest for the analysis of the dynamics and evolution of landforms in Romania includes landforms ranging between the 4th and the 9th order. Landform assemblages were approached mainly according to genetic criteria (i.e. glacial, periglacial, denudational, coastal and fluvial).
