Session Description

Human influence on geomorphic processes is increasingly evident at multiple spatial and temporal scales. From the late Quaternary to the present, surface dynamics have been altered by land use change. These modifications affect erosion, sediment transport, slope stability, and fluvial regimes, often accelerating or redirecting natural processes. This session welcomes contributions exploring the human impact on Earth-surface systems using a variety of tools, including fieldwork, remote sensing, modeling, and historical analysis. We encourage case studies from diverse climatic and geomorphic contexts, especially those addressing the cumulative effects of long-term human activity and the feedbacks between anthropogenic change and geomorphic responses. Particular attention is given to future risks under combined human and climatic pressure.
