[edit] Geography
Please note that this article about Solifluction does not fit in the realm of geology. Solifluction and any other surface phenomena fall in the realm of geomorphology, a branch of physical geography. I have a B.Sc. in Physical Geography and an M.Sc. in Remote Sensing and GIS which is a scientific interdisciplinary field in the study of surface features. I will be grateful to contribute in Wikipedia if there is any forum in Remote Sensing. Physical Geography as my undergraduate field is also my favorite topic. Currently I do not know how I can write articles in Wikipedia, please send me tips and guidelines in this regard. Thank you. posted to article 11:20, 20 December 2007 by user:81.90.146.243

I think you will find that although the processes involved in the formation of solifluctate can fall under the realm of geomorphology, the material itself is part of the overlying geology of the landscape. Thus the material is classified as part of the field of geology. Having said that with geography the line between disciplines is often blurred, this is one of those cases. Bsc in Physical geography also, and this falls under my dissertation title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.72.112 (talk) 11:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
