  • Stochastic trigger model for flood peaks. 2. Application of the model to the flood peaks of Goksu-Karahacili
  • Daily observations from automated snowpack telemetry (SNOTEL) stations from within the drainage basin of the Great Salt Lake over the period from 1982 to 2007 are analyzed. The major finding is a shift toward an earlier date of peak snow water
  • equivalent (SWE) by around 15 days. This suggests increased chances of late-summer water shortages especially when combined with rapid recent population growth. Less freshwater is likely to be available to flow into the Great Salt Lake, increasing its
  • Origin and development of tafoni in Tunnel Spring Tuff, Crystal Peak, Utah, USA
  • This paper concerns a type of cavernous weathering that is well developed on the flanks of Crystal Peak. The recesses, with their visors and large cavities, have the character of typical tafoni. Tafoni at Crystal Peak are remarkable because

  • Geographies of peak oil. Themed issue
  • A concise account of the peak oil claim is provided, identifying the key protagonists in the debate, and outlining different stances with regard to the timing, shape and composition of the peak. After characterising the limited engagement with peak
  • oil by human geographers, it offers a provisional set of claims about what a geographical analysis of peak oil might yield. The introduction is followed by seven articles.

  • Tephra layers near Glacier Peak in the North Cascade Range provide limiting dates for four periods of alpine glacier advance. Field relations suggest that late Wisconsin alpine glaciers last advanced prior to the eruption of tephra layers from
  • Glacier Peak about 11.250 yr B.P. Late Wisconsin deglaciation in the central North Cascades was complete prior to the Glacier Peak tephra eruptions. Glaciers again expanded in the early Holocene about 8400-8300 yr B.P. Soil formed in alpine meadows during

  • Peak-period supplements: the contemporary economics of urban bus transport in the U.K. and USA
  • Explanations of the spring peak in ground-level ozone in the Southwestern United States
  • Many remote locations in the Northern Hemisphere have a spring peak, rather than a summer peak, in ground-level ozone concentrations, and the principal cause is presumed to be stratosphere-troposhere exchange (i.e., stratospheric intrusions). Grand
  • Canyon National Park (GCNP) in northern Arizona also has a spring peak, and the purpose of this study is to explore the impact of stratospheric intrusions and another process synoptic-scale pollutant transport on ground-level ozone levels at GCNP from
  • Peaks of identity in Colorado's San Juan Mountains
  • As certain mountains such as the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado are imbued with meaning, they become peaks of identity, symbolic landscapes associated with community and cultural ideals. For communities near the San Juans

  • Changes in relative position of high mountain peaks
  • The progressive development of precision of repeated measurements in the three-dimensional network of Mountain peaks are demonstrated in the Žiar valley in the West Tatras for the years 1961, 1975, 1982 and 1988. - (MS)
  • Late Quaternary snowline reconstructions for the Southern and Central Sierra Nevada, California and a reassessment of the « Recess Peak Glaciation »
  • This paper utilizes modern, Holocene, and late Pleistocene snowline data to assess the age assignments of deposits attributed to Recess Peak advances in the central and southern Sierra. This evaluation suggests that many of these deposits are more
  • Composition, form, and distribution of the forest-alpine tundra ecotone, Indian Peaks, Colorado, USA
  • La pression touristique est cause de la dégradation des écosystèmes, surtout dans l'écotone entre la limite des arbres et l'étage alpin de l'Indian Peak. La variation spatiale de l'écotone résulte de variations microclimatiques, topographiques

  • A three-dimensional assessment of the net volume of rock differentially eroded from below mountain tops to form valleys yields a range-wide constraint on feedback between valley development and the height of mountain peaks. The superelevation
  • of mountain peaks potentially attributable to differential removal of material from below peaks in the Olympic Mountains, Washington, was constrained by fitting a smoothed surface to the highest elevation points on a 30 m grid digital elevation model
  • of the range. It therefore appears that the location of the highest peak in the Olympics is controlled by the deep valleys excavated in the centre of the range.
