Scottish Landform Examples (SLaX) 1991 - 1998
This collection features articles in the Scottish Landform Examples (SLaX) series, which has been part of the Scottish Geographical Journal since 1991. Initially launched by Dr D.J.A. Evans and Dr J.D. Hansom, then of University of Glasgow, its purpose was “… to present classic landforms of the Scottish environment at a level suitable for advanced school and first-year university students. It aims to make available succinct summary accounts of both familiar and more obscure landforms to those interested in the physical geography of Scotland, and especially to teachers and researchers. New areas of research or new enquiries about familiar landforms may also be aired. Subjects will be drawn from all areas of geomorphology, covering all time scales and offering both terrestrial and offshore features. They may range from small-scale features to whole landscapes and may be monogenetic or polygenetic.” We encourage that future contributions should include the use of maps, aerial images, satellite imagery, photographs, digital elevation models and 3D models. We also recommend that future authors consider including information about field access such as parking and access locations, where appropriate. You can read more on the ongoing role of Scottish landscapes and landforms in pushing the frontiers of physical geography research, with particular mention of the Scottish Landform Examples series and to its continuation under the new editorial team, here. This first collection spans numbers 1-20, published between 1991 and 1998.
