This book, first published in 1992, contains the proceedings of the 22nd Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, and highlights the quantity and diversity of periglacial geomorphic research being undertaken in Arctic and alpine environments. The articles explore a variety of geomorphic processes and examine the potential impacts of global change on the nature and extent of permafrost and seasonal ice phenomena.

In 1889 William Morris Davis offered in his paper The Rivers and Valleys of Pennsylvania'' an elegant set of arguments for the origin of the ridges and gaps, and went on to propose a model for the drainage development and geomorphic evolution of the Appalachians. His work served to focus the geomorphic community into an intense, extended debate on the nature and fundamental controls of the long-term erosion of the Appalachians. The 100th anniversary of Davis' provocative paper prompted the convening of a symposium to address some of the fundamental questions about the Appalachians, the 1989 Geomorphology Symposium. The theme of this symposium was the geomorphic evolution of the Appalachians. This volume brings together a collection of papers from the symposium, to provide a summary of the current state of knowledge.

Excerpt from Geomorphology of the Central Appalachians The number, origin, age, and correlation of peneplains Within the area traversed present a problem concerning Which there is still much difference of opinion. Although a larger number of erosion levels may be represented, the evolution and topography of the Appalachian region will be described With reference to the five most prominent peneplains and to altitudes above and below them. These peneplains, named in the order Of their age, are the pre-triassic, the Fall Zone (jura-cretaceous), the Schooley (tertiary), the Harrisburg (probably late Tertiary), and the Somerville (possibly Pleistocene). The authors hope that this guidebook Will be regarded, not as a statement of facts to be accepted Without question, but merely as a guide to field dis eussions of problems encountered on the journey.
