Focuses on understanding of the processes of erosion and sediment production in a world that is increasingly affected by anthropogenic activities. Four keynote papers open this volume, and the remaining 50 contributions are grouped by theme: Dynamic processes of erosion and sediment transport in fluvial systems; Impacts of climate change and human activities on erosion and sediment yield ; Modelling erosion and sediment yields ; Mountain hazards and debris flows ; Monitoring and tracing methodology.
