description: An Interdisciplinary collection of papers related to long-term landscape development, integrating landscape and tectonic processes. The presentations demonstrate that studies of present-day processes can be successfully placed within an evolutionary framework and geological setting, the necessity of which increases as appreciation of the antiquity of many landscapes grows. Coverage British Isles, NW Europe, Mediterranean Basin, Middle East, Himalaya, Andes and Antarctica.The papers highlight the significance of recent advances in analytical technology for improving interpretation of both geologically 'ancient' and 'young' landscapes. It is hoped that, by demonstrating the benefits of interdisciplinary discourse, a widening interest in landscape studies will be encouraged. Physical geologists; Geomorphologists; Geochronologists and Tectonic Geologists. Principle B. J. Smith, The Queen's University of Belfast, UKD. K. C. Jones, London School of Economics, UK. P.
