Abstract
Research into the dynamics of landform evolution in the Nepal HimalayaNepal Himalaya-Nepal Himalayas is intended to provide knowledge of the long-term integrity of climate-driven morphogenetic and tectonic processes as an essential phenomenon of active collisional orogeny. Landform patterns of the Himalaya are the result of orogenetic processes, as well as the denudation and erosional efficiency under variable palaeoclimatic conditions during the late Cenozoic. The observed landform changes in the Nepal HimalayaNepal Himalaya-Nepal Himalayas indicate the high intensity of climate-driven morphogenetic processes, especially very effective erosion, and transport of weathered material by a combination of diverse exogenic factors, integrated with active orogenetic processes. The dynamic evolution of landforms in the Nepal HimalayaNepal Himalaya-Nepal Himalayas is also essential evidence of the present-day severe natural hazards.
