Abstract
Flood geomorphology is here considered to be the study of the role of floods in shaping the landscape, including the analysis of flood causes, flood processes, resistance factors to flood-induced landscape change, and changes in flood-related processes and forms through time. The 27 papers (abstracted separately) are arranged in sections: 1) external controls and geomorphic measurements; 2) flood erosional and depositional processes; 3) the interactions of floods, climate and landscapes; 4) paleofloods; 5) environmental management. -M.A.Bass
