Chapter 1. Morphogenic Setting and Diversity of Processes and Landforms: The Geomorphological Regions of Belgium -- Chapter 2. An Introduction to the Geology of Belgium and Luxembourg -- Chapter 3. The Climate of Belgium and Luxembourg -- Chapter 4. Landscapes and Landforms of the Luxembourg Sandstone, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg -- Chapter 5. Erosion Surfaces in the Ardenne-Oesling and their Associated Kaolinic Weathering Mantle -- Chapter 6. A Unique Boulder-bed Reach of the Amblève River, Ardenne, at Fonds de Quarreux: Modes of Boulder Transport -- Chapter 7. The Periglacial Ramparted Depressions of the Hautes Fagnes Plateau: Traces of Late Weichselian lithalsas -- Chapter 8. Karstic Systems in Eastern Belgium: Remouchamps and Noû Bleû -- Chapter 9. The Karstic System of Han/Lesse -- Chapter 10. The Picturesque Ardennian Valleys: Plio-Quaternary Incision of the Drainage System in the Uplifting Ardenne -- Chapter 11. Karst and Underground Landscapes in the Cretaceous Chalk and Calcarenite of the Belgian-Dutch Border – The Montagne Saint-Pierre. Chapter 12. The Campine -- Chapter 13. Morphotectonics and Past Large Earthquakes in Eastern Belgium -- Chapter 14. The Hageland Hills, Legacies of the Depositional Architecture of the Miocene Diest Sands -- Chapter 15. Gullies and Closed Depressions in the Loess Belt: Scars of Human-environment Interactions -- Chapter 16. River Landscapes in the Dijle Catchment: From Natural to Anthropogenic Meandering Rivers -- Chapter 17. The Scheldt Estuary: An Overview of the Morphodynamics of Intertidal Areas -- Chapter 18. The Flemish Valley: Response of the Scheldt Drainage System to Climatic and Glacio-eustatic Oscillations -- Chapter 19. The Coastal Plain of Belgium, Joint Product of Natural Processes and Human Activities -- Chapter 20. Landslides in Belgium – Two Case Studies in the Flemish Ardennes and the Pays de Herve -- Chapter 21. Spy and Scladina Caves: A Neandertal’s Story -- Chapter 22.

This book provides an informative and intriguing overview of the most scenic landscapes of Belgium and Luxembourg. Geodiversity is emphasized, for example the periglacial features in the Hautes Fagnes area, the planation surfaces in the Ardennes and Oesling, and the famous caves of Han/Lesse and Remouchamps. The book’s chief goals are to provide the reader with enjoyable and informative descriptions of the selected sites within their regional geographical and geological settings; to offer an up-to-date survey of the evolution of Belgium’s and Luxembourg’s landscape; and to share additional information on the cultural value of the respective sites wherever appropriate. The book is a richly illustrated reference work that makes accessible for the first time a wealth of information currently scattered among many national and regional journals. It will benefit earth scientists, environmental scientists, tourism geographers and conservationist s alike.
