This book, first published in 1980, is a timely and comprehensive
appraisal of thresholds in geomorphology. The papers, arising from
the 9th Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, form the cornerstone of
a subject that is increasingly important in geomorphology. This
book analyses the historical background to thresholds and
geomorphology, as well as fluvial landforms, hydrogeologic regimes
and other processes, and the impact of man.
This book, first published in 1973, presents the papers from the
3rd Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium. The necessity for
interdisciplinary cooperation in research on the processes and
terrain of the littoral zone is reflected here, and the central
theme that emerges from all papers is the dynamic aspect of the
coastal environment, and the way geomorphic principles can be used
to solve problems.
Whether the project is river engineering, soil mapping for landuse
planning, or control of landslides, this volume, first published in
1976, illustrates that the professional partnership between
geomorphology and engineering can significantly minimize
environmental damage. The papers here were presented at the 7th
Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, and using the broad viewpoint
of the planner, much new ground is covered: landfill design,
prediction of geomorphic processes and their effects, and
minimization of streamflow distortion.
This book, first published in 1973, focuses on non-urban terrain,
and presents a uniquely balanced historical treatment of both the
land degradation induced by man and his efforts at conservation,
preservation and reclamation.

This proceedings volume is the fifth in our continuing publication
series that result from the annual geomorphology symposiums
conducted in the Department of Geological Sciences, State
University of New York at Binghamton. The First proceedings
Environmental Geomorphology spoke to an emerging Geld that is
becoming ever more popular and necessary in today's complex world.
The Second proceedings, Quantitative Geomorphology, again cross-cut
many of the geomorphic subdisciplines and united them with one of
the most important methodologies of the science. The Third and
Fourth proceedings, Coastal Geomorphology and Fluvial
Geomorphology, zeroed in on analysis of the special processes that
comprise the fundamental building blocks of geomorphic research.
The present volume continues this trend ht showing how the dynamic
processes associated with glaciation transform the landscape. There
are many different avenues for expression of scientific ideas, but
the knowledge and publication explosion creates hardships for those
who attempt to keep in tune with their specialties. It is not our
purpose to add an unnecessary burden to this verbage increase.
Instead we feel there comes a time when reassessment of the vital
fabric of geomorphology is necessary and where geomorphologists can
gather as a group to share their newest ideas. The more than 300
participants who have been attending these yearly symposia attest
that this type of event helps fi11 a communications gap.
