Lucrarea este structurată în două părți. Prima parte pune accent pe caracteristicile geografice generale care influențează dinamica albiei râului, iar poziția geografică în Carpații de Curbură justifică aspectele geologice, tectonice, geomorfologice și climatice, ca principali factori de control. În funcție de acestea, dinamica este diferită pe cel...

Rivers are considered that have, partially or totally, courses in particular areas as tectonics: Carpathian Curvature, north-eastern region of the Atlas Mountains, local subsidence on rivers in the Transylvanian Depression. The changes are detected using the diachronic method for the years 1980 and 2018 or 2019,2020. The interpretations are based o...

Floods are the most widespread hazard globally and have a significant impact on local communities in terms of material and loss of life. Flood risk analysis is a complex process that needs to be addressed both physically and socially. The study provides a method for identifying the risk using Goegraphical Informational Systems techniques. Each indi...

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the main air quality pollutants of concern in many urban and industrial areas worldwide, and particularly in the European region, where in 2017 almost 20 countries exceeded the NO2 annual limit values imposed by the European Commission Directive 2008/50/EC (EEA, 2019). NO2 pollution monitoring and regulation is a ne...

The purpose of this article is to analyze the concept of geosite in terms of research in international level and national level, with particularisation on the study of geosites in South Dobrogea Plateau. Geosites are relief forms with a scientific, ecological, aesthetical, archaeological, historical, religious and economical value, in respect of hu...

Road infrastructure projects have proven to be a challenging task, particularly in a dynamic setting, such as mountains and hillsides. Such an endeavour entails the integration and processing of cross-disciplinary research, particularly engineering and geosciences. Our study is oriented towards the geographic aspects, specifically the ones involvin...

The purpose of this project is to use the geographical and geomorphological information by means of GIS techniques in order to create an atlas book (catalog) of the Romanian ski resorts. The methodology used to create the atlas aimed to create unitary, complete and complex maps for all Romanian resorts. The maps contain all the necessary informatio...

The alpine level of Parâng Mountains is situated at altitudes higher than 1800 m a.s.l. over a surface of about 133 km2 (18.3%) of the whole environment covered by these mountains. The present-day relief modelling within this environment is conditioned by the variety of the climatic, bio-pedo-geographic and geomorphologic conditions superposing the...

This study represents a complex analysis of favorable and restrictive factors created in order to identify the suitable areas for a macro ski development on Prahova Valley, Romania. Our goal is to integrate the solutions in the existent touristic infrastructure for practicing winter sports (ski, snowboard, etc.). The work represents an analysis of...

This study focuses on a geographical area with historical connotations, located in the internal curvature of the Carpathians. The prospects of transport network in this area are geographically conditioned mainly by the morphodynamics of the surrounding relief. The working methodology was based on the ArcGIS analysis of four main factors for the tra...

Railway mainline improvement along critical sectors with high gradients and affected by natural hazards is a tough objective to be achieved by engineering projects.

The present work aims to show the way the inventory of geomorphosites may constitute a base in determining the quality and quantity of geomorphodiversity. The key terms, geomorphosite and geomorphodiversity, have been recently introduced in the world specialised literature (after 2000), their concept area has been clarified, but in order to accompl...

The geotouristic map is a new type of map which reveals best the connection between the relief and touristic activities. There are several types of geotouristic maps: index, touristic maps, geoscientific maps and interpretative maps. Their elaboration supposes several stages: consulting bibliography and different types of maps (topographic maps at...
