Résumé :	This volume represents a selection of papers delivered as the British Geo-morphological Research Group's contribution to the Institute of British Geographers' Annual Conference in January 1993, held at Royal Holloway, University of London. In keeping with one of the conference themes of environmental change, the British Geo-morphological Research Group session focused on the practical application of geomorphology to land management in a changing environment. Reflecting the diversity of approach and opinion engendered by this all embracing theme, the papers presented range widely across geomorphology and geo-morphological hydrology. The contributions also reflect a wide diversity of methodologies from field process monitoring using erosion plots to hypothetical computer modeling. Fifteen of the eighteen chapters are results of oral presentations given over the one and a half days of the symposium while three were submitted subsequently. The diversity of contributions contributed to an interesting editorial task; but four major themes emerged around the general idea of human/natural process interaction: ground instability and land management; the effects of land use on hydrological response of geo-morphological systems; geo-morphological aspects of the management of environmental impact and risk; and aspects of modeling and management of geo-morphological systems. The contributions reflect an international perspective, and include contributions from researchers in Belgium, China, Germany, Greece, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Spain, USA as well as the UK. All contributions have been refereed and we extend thanks to all those who helped us so efficiently and constructively in this capacity. We also thank Helen Bailey, Abi Hudlass and Claire Walker at John Wiley, the local organizing committee of the IBG conference at Royal Holloway and the committee of the BGRG for their support.
