在过去的十年里，全球山地地貌学的三个主题得到了界定和加强：（a）测量、感知和分析山地地貌的新方法;（B）山地地貌学中的不连通性的新强调;和（c）人们对人为干扰山区地貌环境的影响越来越大表示关切，特别是在人口密度高于任何其他山区的热带山区。人为引起的水文气候变化增加了地貌危害和风险，但也为改善山区景观提供了新的机会。每一个主题都是根据山区地貌的独特性和过去十年来研究的重要进展来审议的。传统上依赖高能量条件来定义山地地貌似乎不如独特的山地地貌和景观的存在以及人类活动和人为引起的水文气候变化正在改变山地景观的独特方式重要。
Three themes in global mountain geomorphology have been defined and reinforced over the past decade: (a) new ways of measuring, sensing, and analyzing mountain morphology; (b) a new emphasis on disconnectivity in mountain geomorphology; and (c) the emergence of concerns about the increasing influence of anthropogenic disturbance of the mountain geomorphic environment, especially in intertropical mountains where population densities are higher than in any other mountain region. Anthropogenically induced hydroclimate change increases geomorphic hazards and risks but also provides new opportunities for mountain landscape enhancement. Each theme is considered with respect to the distinctiveness of mountain geomorphology and in relation to important advances in research over the past decade. The traditional reliance on the high energy condition to define mountain geomorphology seems less important than the presence of unique mountain landforms and landscapes and the distinctive ways in which human activity and anthropogenically induced hydroclimate change are transforming mountain landscapes.
