The maximal temperatures for the 1951-1980 period have been investigated. All statistics are calculated and maps for January and July have been drown. The security of the absolute maximal temperatures have been calculated. The importance
for different kinds of economic activities has been evaluated. - (SBV)
In this book a first attempt has been made to provide a more detailed, quantitative assessment of the sensitivity of the River Rhine discharge to climate change. The attempt indicates the order of magnitude of the effect of a climatic change
. In this respect the sensitivity of the river has been analysed, a spatially distributed water balance model has been developed and finally discharge scenarios are assessed. - (AGD)
A quantitative estimation of water resources of every 200-meter height belts has been carried out. The structure elements has been estimated by means of analysis of hydrographes. A phase of primary high water and low water level has been established
Since 1970 changes in the geography of California viticulture have been marked by increased acreage in vineyards and by plantings in areas that had not previously been commercial wine producers. Cool coastal valleys have been the preferred prime
This paper reviews the development problems of Malta. Independence was achieved in 1964 since when two main styles of development have been pursued: open economic growth in the 1960s| and more centrally planned Mintoffian development in the 1970s
. Industry and tourism have been major growth sectors of the economy since independence. Although there has been an attempt to assert Malta's independence and neutrality, the economy still rests on external support.
After a palynological analysis a humic layer has been dated through the C-method. The age is 2660 100 B.P. (bottom) and 1965 110 B.P. (top). This dating matches the Iron Age material that has been found. The knowledge of the ecology
of the prehistoric site at La Panne has been enlarged. (LW).
Focusing on an area near Tirana (Vagarr komuna), the article examines how rural life and agricultural patterns have been evolving since 1990/91. How have villagers been adjusting to their post-communist reality ? In particular, how have they been
, but not owned prior to collectivization has been seriously dampening investment. - (L'A.).
Eolian cover sands have been investigated in Poland rather seldom, and in some elaborations they have been misinterpreted. Investigations that have been carried out recently in Central-West Poland allowed to determine stratigraphy of eolian cover
for in grain-size of the bottom sediments. It has been also found that eolian cover sands of West and Central Europe are differentiated in respect of grain-size. (L'A.).
The expansion of urban areas in England and Wales has been viewed by some researchers with rising concern. This paper discusses what might have happened in settlements if a policy of no expansion had been enforced after 1947. It reaches
the conclusion that complete containment would have been possible, but conditions would have been extremely constricted nad the policy therefore unreasonable.
The problems of agglomeration regions have been an important object of research for the geographers of the GDR since the beginning of the 1960s ! By then the reconstruction of economic facilities, that had been destroyed during World War II, had
been completed, and for the first time long-termed plans for the development of economy had been introduced. (HL).
The aim of this research has been the identification of the terrain attributes related to the occurrence of shallow landslides and to quantify their relative contribution to the instability of the slope. The most significant factors have been
included in a discriminant function in order to define landslide susceptibility classes. To this purpose the AA. have used a set of data that have been collected in the field. The validity of the discriminant function for landslide susceptibility assessment
has been tested in a pilot area in the Spanish Eastern Pyrenees.
Areal specialization and increasing concentration into fewer but larger units of manufacture have been characteristic features of the development of the British glass industry. These trends have been particularly apparent in the flat glass branch
, with the total dominance of Pilkington's in St Helens. Means of transportation, both of materials and products, and proximity to consumption points have been significant economic factors in the changing locational patterns. Technical innovations have had
important effects upon location as well. Such changes have imposed greater spatial restrictions and these have been acutely felt in the container branch of the industry.
The effect of slope angle on splash detachment has been a matter of discussion for long because it has not always been clearly observed in experiments. In this paper a model, based on the physics of the drop impact, is developed.
Water and heat balances have been calculated with meteorological and hydrological data on Lake Ikeda (Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu). The thermal profiles have been accurately measured. - (SGA)
The outpouring of research on scale production and on rescaling processes has been accompanied by a blunting of the concept of geographical scale as it has been blended into concepts such as place, locality, territory and space. The paper explores
In geography, the study of foreign aid has been neglected because it has been carried out in international relations theory and political science. Different theoretical approaches are examined and the way they have been applied to the study
The differentiation of some climatological elements (cloudiness, insolation, air temperature and direction, precipitation and air humidity) had been analysed on the basis of the meteorological data for 1956-1985 and has been presented against
the background of adjacent regions. In spite of the fact that the Zuławy Wis˙lane region is a widespread, flat area, local differentiations of climatic elements have been conformed.―(D'après les AA.).
