Le forage de la station Byrd achevé en janvier 1968 jusqu'à 2153m a été réexaminé en janvier 1975 jusqu'à une profondeur de 1474m. Les mesures d'inclinaison ont été faites à l'aide d'un inclinomètre de Parsons et comparées à celles de 1968

Terrestrial record of Post-Eocene climate history in Marie ByrdLand (MBL), West Antarctica
Hydrovolcanic deposits, interbedded tills and recycled microfossils, together with erosion anomalies in the Marie ByrdLand (MBL) landscape, each provide a portion of the record of glaciation and deglaciation events from late Oligocene

The AA. compare the Taylor Dome oxygen isotope record with the isotope records of Vostok and Byrd Station, Antarctica, and GISP2, Greenland. The features of the Taylor Dome δ O 18 record suggest that climate changes were essentially synchronous
in both hemispheres. Changes in ocean circulation heat transport may, however, have temporarily masked the global signal in certain regions of the ocean and in adjacent land areas, including eastern to central North America, Greenland, Europe, and also
l'Oligocène. Les conditions nécessaires à la formation d'une calotte glaciaire maritime n'ont pas été établies avant la fin du Miocène. A cette époque les témoignages sont nombreux qu'une masse de glace provenant de la Marie ByrdLand s'étendait jusqu'à la
Housing price, land supply, and revenue from land sales
Government intervention ; Hong Kong ; Housing ; Housing cost ; Housing market ; Land ; Land market ; Real estate development ; Urban planning
The A. shows that there is no causal relationship between land supply and housing prices. Estimations based on the annual data of Hong Kong's public land sales find that the government acts to maximise land revenue. Maximisation of revenue from land
sales is consistent with the efficient allocation of resources. The A. also shows that the amount of land sales by the government and land in developers' land banks tend to decrease when market interest rates increase. Land banking behaviour is governed
The price of land for housing in Trinidad : the role of regulatory constraints and implications for affordability
Housing ; Land ; Land development ; Land market ; Land value ; Market regulation ; Trinidad and Tobago ; Urban development
The paper argues that affordability of land and housing ownership is largely affected by cumbersome land transfer processes and an uncertain building permit approval process. By using Dowall's land market assessment methodology, the paper examines
land price changes and land conversion patterns in the East-West Corridor region between 1989 and 1993. An examination of institutional and regulatory constraints suggests that land prices are likely to increase in the future when demand conditions
Urban land use transformation and determinants of urban land use size in China
China ; Economic reform ; Land ; Land rent ; Land use ; Spatial allocation ; Town ; Urban development
An overview of the problems in urban land use and the impacts of economic reforms and planning policies on rapid urban land expansion and structural transformation is outlined. Statistical analyses reveal determinants of urban land size. This use
has been improved, and the size is related to urban reforms, land use adjustment, as well as to population growth and economic development.
The differential incidence of an urban land tax depends on the travel intensities of substitutes for lands
Land ; Land rent ; Land value ; Taxation system ; Town
This note shows that, in order to impose any burden on consumers, the urban land tax needs to be supplemented by planning controls to prevent consumers on the urban margin shifting to the rural area in order to escape the tax.

Patenting an arid frontier : use and abuse of the public land laws in Owens Valley, California
Arid lands ; California ; Farming ; Historical geography ; Land improvement ; Land policy ; Land register;Cadastral survey ; Land speculation ; Land;Real estate ; Settlement ; United States
Five nineteenth-century policies for alienating the federal public domain only partially fulfilled their objectives when applied in the arid setting of Owens Valley. Public land policies were adequate for settling the well-watered north end
, but unsuccessfull in reclaiming the irrigable lands of the vast southern arid stretches.
Recent development of land use in China in Land use in China.
Cultivated land is mainly used for growing staple foods. Factors exerting influence on land use are : the traditional Chinese way of intensive land use, population pressure as well as economic situation. The structure of recent developments of land
use exhibits altitudinal agricultural land use, intercropping of crops and trees, two-tier and multi-tier land use.
Modelling land redistribution potential in Limpopo, South Africa
Agricultural land use ; Automated mapping ; Information system ; Land ; Land redistribution ; Land reform ; Landed property ; Limpopo ; Modelling ; South Africa
Land reform remains high on South Africa’s list of national priorities, but the results since 1994 have been meagre. One key issue that often stymies well-meaning reform minded institutions, bureaucrats, activists and land owners is a lack
of information on the land itself. A set of geo-spatial technologies are recommended to overcome this problem. - (AJC)
