Geomorphology abroad during the second half of the XXth century

Abstract

Post-war development of the geomorphology abroad can be subdivided into two periods. During the first- 1945 to 1975 - the studies concentrated on denudational chronology, climatic geomorphology, quantitative dynamic geomorphology. During the second period dynamic geomorphology made a progress using modern methods, techniques and approaches. Stationary observations, modeling and system analysis of geomorphic objects are most commonly used. Some works of applied character are currently in progress, f. e. in the field of environmental geomorphology.
