Abstract
Geomorphology plays an outstanding role in research into natural hazards and risks related directly to processes in the lithosphere (rapid mass movements, erosion, volcanic and seismic activity, etc.). In addition, geomorphologic response of hydro-climatologic catastrophes cannot be excluded (e.g. floods).
As in other geosciences, quantification and dating of processes, as well as prediction based on modelling and knowledge of landscape evolution, is important.
