GEOMORPHOLOGICAL MAPPING IN ALPINE ENVIRO NMENTS - THE EXAMPLE OF A REGION NEAR SALZBURG (AUSTRIA)

An area in the Salzach Valley (near Hallein, Land Salzburg) was mapped geomorphologically. The large scale of the map (I : 12.500) required an inventory of individual landforms, as the area studied is character ized by a variety of structural, fluvial, glacial and karst landforms. Processes of mass movements play an important role, especially in the loamy pleistocene deposits. Furthermore, general concepts as to the r epresentation of geomorphological details in geomorphological maps are being discussed.
