This collection of essays is the result of a workshop in February 2017 held at the University of Sussex in honour of Dick Grove. In putting together this festschrift meeting the organisers were keen to recognise Dick’s outstanding contribution to the field of Geomorphology and Geography. 2019 is the centenary year of the Department of Geography in Cambridge and Dick has been a member of that department for over seventy years both as an undergraduate and later as researcher and faculty member.

Those who sent their apologies included Bill Adams, Nick
