Abstract
During recent 30 years, the international hot spots of Geomorphology have been focusing landform evolution histories based upon sedimentation, fluvial landforms and disaster occurrences due to sediments transportation and land surface erosion, landform evolution mechanism based upon modeling simulations. The main achievements of Geomorphology in China include long time scale landform evolution under tectonic and sedimentary controls; engineering landform studies relating with reservoirs, ports and soil and water conservations; past climatic changes based upon sediments’ proxies; loess, karst and other types of landform with China regional features; and landform evolution mechanisms by modeling simulations. In the future, the basic theories, crossing and anastomosing, model simulations are required to be paid more attentions.
