On the occasion of his retirement from the University of Liège, a group of colleagues summarize the main achievements and activities in periglacial research of Albert Pissart. He is one of the few periglacial geomorphologists who has (1) successfully studied both Pleistocene phenomena and present day processes, (2) undertaken palaeogeographic reconstructions, and (3) carried out numerous experimental and laboratory studies into the effects of cold climates upon rocks and landforms.
