"River channel and erosion within its basin" after a lapse of years 17-25

Abstract

The paper discusses the importance of thoughts of N.l. Makkaveev stated in his monograph "River channel and erosion within its basin" (published about 40 years ago) for the development of geomorphology. The concept of united erosional-depositional process and the hydrornorphic approach to studies of fluvial landforms and drainage basins gave rise to new branches in geomorphology, hydrology, physical geography, and theory of placer formation. Thoughts of N.I. Makkaveev have received wide acceptance in channel studies, inveastigations of erosion, and fluvial geo- morphology.
