The refereed proceedings of the September 1992 conference provide a review of the current knowledge of Quaternary river behavior from contrasting tectonic, climatic, and cultural settings within the Mediterranean region. They also illustrate the use of different methodologies for studying past river environments across a variety of time and space scales and highlight many of the problems associated with establishing age control and identifying causality in alluvial sequences.

These proceedings cover such topics as: the impact of quaternary tectonic activity on river behaviour; archaeology and human river environment interactions; and geochronology, correlation and controls of quaternary river erosion and sedimentation.
