Part 1: Introduction to the Physical Geography of Austria: Geological and Tectonic Setting of Austria -- Geomorphological Landscape Regions of Austria -- The Imprint of Quaternary Processes on the Austrian Landscape -- River and Valley Landscapes -- Karst Landscapes in Austria -- Geomorphic Hazards in Austria -- Geoheritage, Geotourism and Landscape Protection in Austria -- Part 2: Geomorpic Hotspots of High Scenic Quality and/or High Scientific Interest: Granite Tors of the Waldviertel Region in Lower Austria -- Deeply Incised Valley Meanders of the Bohemian Massif -- Wachau World Heritage Site: A Diverse Riverine Landscape -- Sunken Roads and Palaeosols in Loess Areas in Lower Austria – Landform Development and Cultural Importance -- The Danube Floodplain National Park – A Fluvial Landscape with Expiration Date? -- Lake Neusiedl Area: A Particular Lakescape at the Boundary between Alps and Pannonian Basin -- Quaternary Landforms and Sediments in the Northern Alpine Foreland of Salzburg and Upper Austria -- The Walgau – a Landscape Shaped by Landslides -- Fluvial Geomorphology and River Restoration: Tiroler Lech Nature Park -- The World Heritage Site Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut – a Fascinating Geomorphological Field Laboratory -- Gesäuse – River Gorge, Limestone Massifs and Sediment Cascades -- The Rax Karst Massif – a Typical Plateau of the Northern Calcareous Alps? -- Montafon – Geodiversity and Human Impact -- Giant „Bergsturz“ Landscapes in the Tyrol -- The Upper Ötz Valley – High Mountain Landscape Diversity and Long Research Tradition -- The Moraine at Trins and the Alpine Lateglacial -- The Krimml Waterfalls in the Hohe Tauern National Park -- Großglockner and Pasterze Glacier – Landscape Evolution at Austria’s Highest Summit and its Neighbouring Glacier System -- Gorges and Slots - Three Examples of Geomorphosites in Western Carinthia -- Rock Glaciers in the Austrian Alps – A General Overview with a Special Focus on Dösen Rock Glacier, Hohe Tauern Ran -- The Ore of the Alps UNESCO Global Geopark (Salzburg) – Geosites and Geotourism -- The Variability and Uniqueness of Cirque Landscapes in the Schladminger Tauern -- The Erzberg Area: A Mining Landscape in Styria -- Dobratsch – Landslides and Karst in Austria’s Southernmost Nature Park -- Klagenfurt Basin – A Large Basin in the Alps -- Geomorphological Evidence of Past Volcanic Activity in the Southeast of Austria.

This book intends to identify and publicize the unique features of Austrian geomorphology. In a country which stretches from the core of the European Alps to the Hungarian plain there is huge variety of landforms and landscapes. This book reveals that variety. Part 1 sets the context of the Austrian landscape as a whole. Part 2 is the core of the volume and comprises a careful selection of the most outstanding landscapes in Austria. Each of the chapters results from detailed research conducted by an author over many years. Austria’s landscapes are especially attractive because of the great variety of topographic slopes, geologic foundations and the special landscape legacy from the Quaternary period. Glacial and Karst landscapes dominate, but there are superb examples of granite weathering landscapes and geologically recent volcanism. Part 3 is the editor’s original and creative contribution. It emphasizes the importance of geomorphology as a natural resource. Tourism relies upon geomorphology and many national, aesthetic and cultural values are influenced by that geomorphology. The book is lavishly illustrated with about 300 color images and is securely based on scientific scholarship.
