The purpose of this International Symposium is to pay tribute to the research and
educational activity carried out by the Prof. Antonio Cendrero Uceda. The Symposium’s name reflects his professional career since the seventies, focused on the study of the interactions between man and the geological environment, commonly termed environmental geology. A. Cendrero has had a fruitful and pioneering career of research and dissemination in the discipline. During recent years his research has concentrated on the study of impacts of human actions on geomorphologic processes and risks, within the context of global change. Always from a geological and geomorphological point of view, he has dealt with natural risks, interactions between human activity and geomorphic processes, geoenvironmental analysis and assessment in the sustainable management of geologic resources and land use planning, etc. The one day symposium will be held following the XII Reunión Nacional de Geomorfología (XII National Meeting on Geomorphology), facilitating synergy between both events. The Symposium offers an excellent framework for scientific dissemination and discussion on the subject, by means of oral and/or poster presentations on current research.
