Zur Tektonik und Minerogenie Antarktikas. (On tectonics and minerogeny of the Antarctic)
Starting from the tectonical subdivision of the Antarctic and from the tectogenetical epochs, minerogenetical conclusions are done and comparisons are drawn with other southern continents. From this are resulting hints on those territories, which

Geomorphology of the sub-Antarctic Australian Territory of Heard Island-McDonald Island
The geomorphology of Heard Island-McDonald Island is primarily the product of close interplay between volcanism, glaciation, and vigourous marine processes in a stormy sub-Antarctic environment. The dominant landform is the strato-volcano Big Ben

A technique to monitor snowpack development using miniature temperature-loggers mounted in a vertical array is evaluated from nearly 100 site-years of measurements in the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia. The method shows good agreement
Thermal state of permafrost and active-layer monitoring in the Antarctic : advances during the International Polar Year 2007-2009
Results obtained during the International Polar Year (IPY) on the thermal state of permafrost and the active layer in the Antarctic are presented, forming part of the project ANTPAS (‘Antarctic Permafrost and Soils’). The number of boreholes
of ground temperatures in the Antarctic is greater than in the Arctic.

property principles and where herders have no enshrined land and resource rights. Using territoriality as the analytical capsule, it founds that the herders’ persistence is related to mainly non-territoriality where the goal is to influence relationships
and resource access but not control area. Categorising their non-territorial expression into persuasive and aggressive forms, it provides a new platform for deconstructing farmer-herder relationships in the West African sub-region.

The high-resolution probability model for the southern Yukon and northern British Columbia presented here (regional model) is a combination of 7 local empirical-statistical models, each developed from basal temperature of snow measurements in winter

In Kenya, while disregarding the cultural autonomy of the Other and reducing the Elsewhere to mere nature, cartography has achieved technical knowledge of territory, thus giving support to British colonialism. The paper responds to the analytical
suggestions of humanistic geography and joins the dominance of contemporary cartographic information to K. Blixen's literary production, particularly Out of Africa, seen as tale of the territory starting from cultural landscape.
