Geomorphologic Risk Modelling of the Sibiu Depression Using Geospatial Surface Analyses
2011
Extreme events in general, and the geomorphologic ones in particular, are highly topical problems. There were addresses by many researchers in the field of geology and physical geography (more specific by the climatologists and geomorphologists), but also by biologists, chemists, ecologists, etc. These are studied through the analysis of some types of processes and production mechanisms, and secondly by the effects they create on other environmental subsystems.

A better public perception and knowledge on land degradation increases the individual and collective responsibility in land use and land management.

The research reveals natural causes, improper land use, categories of land owned, socio-economic causes and involvement of institutions as key aspects of public perception.
