Applied geomorphology field researches in the Transcarpathyan Valley of Buzãu

Abstract

Buzău River crosses the Carpathians between Sita Buzăului and Păltineni, being doubled by the national road route DN 10, which links Muntenia to Transylvania. The Siriu Rockfill Dam was built in the Southern part of the Transcarpathian sector, which also facilitated other anthropic interventions on the topography of the terrain and landscape. The measures for fighting land degradation are differentiated between slopes and river bed, depending on the morphologic particularities along the road. In this context, the main objective of this study is to determine those sectors having applied geomorphology particularities, in order to ensure the optimal and sustainable use of terrains.
