In the northern slope of the Carpathian Mountains and in their foreland, river and stream channels have been significantly transformed by human impact. These transformations result from changing land use in river basins and direct interference with river channels (alluvia extraction, engineering infrastructure, channel straightening). Anthropogenic impacts cause signifi cant changes in the channel...
Extreme events disturb the development paths of geomorphological systems. The effect of such events on relief tends to persist for long periods of time and affects the future development of such systems. This paper focuses on changes in middle mountain valleys associated with an extreme hydro-geomorphological event that occurred in the Western Tatra Mountains (Polish Carpathian Mountains) in June...
The paper presents results from a study of the functioning of slopes in conditions where the dynamic equilibrium has been upset and sliding has been followed by slope relaxation. The research was an attempt to analyze large-scale changes in slope morphology in the Łososina River basin in the Beskid Wyspowy mountain range caused by an extreme rainfall event in 1997. The enormous scale of the sliding...
Under an extensive tourist penetration, mountain areas have been experiencing a high degree of anthropogenic degradation. Tourist traffic leads to the destruction of vegetation along roads and paths and nearby facilities, largely as a result of a considerable acceleration of geomorphologic processes. The paper presents certain environmental considerations, including relief, geology and climate, as...
Extreme events tend to cause large-scale slope system changes. During the last ten years, a series of extreme meteorological events caused considerable transformation of the slopes and valleys in various parts of the Carpathian Mountains. This paper presents the geomorphological effects of extreme rainfall and thaw events on the slopes of two catchments: the lososina catchment (Beskid Wyspowy) and...
