The use of geophysical techniques has become an important tool in many geomorphological studies. However, the correct handling of geophysical instruments and the subsequent processing of the data they yield, on the one hand, and the description and interpretation of geomorphological settings to which they are applied, on the other hand, are difficult tasks. Without close cooperation of geophysicists and geomorphologists, the accurate and effective use of geophysical techniques and their geophysical and geomorphological interpretation is often limited. There are many text books in both disciplines, but no single book addresses the interdisciplinary aspects of combining geophysics and geomorphology. In addition to these papers, we include a CD-ROM by Karl-Josef Sandmeier which contains (i) a test version of the software package REFLEXW (programme for 2D and 3D processing and interpretation of GPR and seismic refraction/reflection data, incl. Demo-data and handbook); (ii) an introduction to the interpretation of seismic refraction data; (iii) an introduction to modelling and tomography tools, and (iv) a technical note on the use of wavefront inversion, forward modelling and tomographic interpretation tools for seismic refraction data
