The eleven papers which comprise this volume have been arranged in relation to spatial and temporal scales. The first four papers all deal with erosion and sediment transport in badland catchments. Romero-Diaz et al. and Bryan et al. consider relatively short-term erosion rates and processes in southeast Spain and in Canada and Kenya respectively. Clotet-Perernau et al. working in the Spanish Pyrennees, compare short and medium-term timescales and Gutierrez et al. consider the influence of piping on the morphological development of badlands in the Ebro Basin of northern Spain. The next two papers deal with geomorphic response to meteorological sequences, Suwa & Okuda with process-seasonality in Japan and Gallart & Clotet-Perernau with response to an extreme rain in the Spanish Pyrennees. The following three papers all consider the relationships between sediment source areas and depo-sitional sites. Ergenzinger specifically considers temporal and spatial scales in sediment production, transport and erosion rats in Calabria, Sorriso-Valvo, also working in Calabria and Harvey working in southeast Spain both deal with alluvial fans. Next Sancho et al. consider long-term slope development in the Ebro basin and finally Conacher examines the significance of short-term process measurements to the understanding long-term landform development in Western Australia. Several papers presented at the meeting are not included in this volume and are being developed for publication elsewhere. These include papers by GUPTA on channel morphology in India, Segura on stepped channels in Spain and Bordas on Thermo-Luminescence dating of soils in Spain.
