Mass movements in Southwest Germany : analyses and results from the Tübingen work group of the MABIS Project
Mass movements in South, West and Central Germany
The Tübingen research group of the MABIS project examined mass movements on the Swabian Jurassic escarpment, the Keuper cuesta and the glacially formed Deggenhausen valley, using geomorphologic and pedologic field mapping, differentiation

EU-sponsored scheme, is an example of diverging points of view,interests and legitimacy ofof the parties involved:local inhabitants and democratically elected local government firmly supporting a project of building the road through the valley
and rejecting other proposalsfor their requiring more time to wait; inhabitants of Podlaskie voivodship backing in a region-wide referendum the project; the central government which in 2007 firmly backed the project; the European Commission opposing the project
The conflict about building a ring road of Augustow (north-eastern Poland), badly needed for a dramatic increase of traffic of lorries between Baltic states and the rest of the UE, Through the valley of Rospuda river,protected under the Natura 2000

The article shows some aspects of the temperature climate in a valley and its surroundings at Maze on Finnmarksvidda, where three meteorological observation stations have been in operation since the autumn of 1981. The stations are situated

Morphogenetic classification of river valleys developing in formerly glaciated areas for the needs of mathematical and physical modelling in hydrotechnical projects
This paper deals with proposals of natural models of river valley evolution useful for physical and mathematical modelling in hydrotechnical projects. Such models are known from investigations of numerous valley reaches of the Wisla (Vistula) River
A fog forecasting method in a deeply embanked valley
Belgium ; Fog ; Forecast;Prediction ; Meteorology ; Meuse ; Model ; Statistics ; Valley
This paper presents a statistical model used to forecast fog in the Meuse valley in Belgium. The method is a bootstrap discriminant analysis using eight predictors : river surface temperature, air pressure, air temperature at two elevations, wind
speed and relative humidity at the same two locations. These data are measured from November 1989 to April 1990. Tests are done to determine the number of resampling needed for this data set and the optimum projection delay for prediction from
The Serra da Estrala is the highest mountain massif in Portagal (40°20'N; 7°35'W; 1993 m asl) and the part of the Iberian Central Cordillera. A significant topoclimatic differenciation inffluenced the present-day landscape dynamics arises from
the original imprint that glacial erosion gave to the mountain. The study of the local climates is a major element of an integrated project for the study of landscape units, which has being conducted in the Serra da Estrala. For the first time air temperatures
in different sites in the Serra da Estrala were collected simultaneously and systematically. The analysis of single days shows two main types of regime according to topographical conditions : valley floors and plateaux or peaks. The results of this research
