  6. Keynote Speakers at the 2005 British Geomorphology Conference Professor Rob Ferguson University of Durham, UK Professor Mike Church, University Of British Colombia, Canada “Let’s put theory before the observation and let it guide us as to what to measure” “Too much of geomorphology is concerned with the specific and is therefore only descriptive.
