Some observations on paleogeomorphology

Abstract

Reconstruction of ancient landscapes and landscape processes have long been attempted, and continue to be, with varying degrees of success. The process is not trivial and demands a wide variety of data collected over broad areas by students in many disciplines and sub-disciplines. The last two or three decades have seen a tremendous growth in the volume and quality of these data. As a result some paleogeomorphic studies on regional or larger scales may be tried.
