DEVELOPMENT THRUST OF GEOMORPHOLOGY (AN INVITATION TO DISCUSSION)

Abstract
The author argues that geomorphology should aim 1) to further development of the theory and methodology; 2) to investigate relief by geomorphological and general scientific methods, 3) to compile univocal geomorphologic map and to interpret geomorphological data; 4) to provide data bases for prospecting; 5) to develop engineer- geomorphologic assessments; 6) to investigate contemporary geomorphic processes; 7) to provide relief data bases for their use in GIS-technologies. The author suggests that all the readers of the journal “Geomorhpology” should focus their attention on the creation of a geomorphological code just to unify the conceptual language and some other theoretical elements of science.
