Аннотация

Both regional and dynamic approaches first appeared in the Moscow University in 1920ies. Regional studies comprise monographic description of individual regions of the Earth general and specialized maps of various scales, studies, of land, continental shelf and ocean floor, development of computerized maps and data base. Dynamic approach is based on joint analysis of topography and substrate. Dynamic geomorphology includes problems of morpholithogenesis, of conformity and disconformity between relief and geological formations, studies of relief-forming processes mechanism, problems of dynamic geomorphology are tackled by applying a large array of methods, including experiments and stationary observations. A series of manuals and textbooks have been published on both branches of geomorphology, and special courses of lectures are read for students, post-graduates etc.
