Geomorphological observations and related natural hazards using merged remotely sensed data : a case study in the Corinthos area (NE Peloponnese, S. Greece)
The study area is a typical agricultural area with intense relief, the result of active tectonics and important human intervention. The AA. demonstrate the benefits from the synergism of SAR data (ERS-2) and optical data (SPOT2-XS) in order
The aim of this study is to identify and explain instances of gentrification in a metropolitan area of a peripheral capitalist country. The first theme is an exploration of gentrification as a process ultimately driven by globalization. It does
of a thin microbiotic crust. The runoff in turn produces erosion. The goals of this study are to study the relationship between runoff and sediment yield; to study the variability of sediment production from the crest to the base of dune slopes; to compare

The AA. report on a field experiment studying the effects of different densities of roughness elements on sediment transport and foredune profile development. Reed stems are planted as a surrogate for vegetation at the frontal side of the foredune
. Plots are covered with a regular pattern of bundles of reed stems, in 3 different densities. Profiles through the plots are monitored over a period of one year. The aim of the experiment is to study profile development for several vegetation densities
A study on environmental aridity over northern and southern to Qinling Mountains under climate warming
) in 100 years show that the northern region has entered a drought period, while the southern is a humid period. This study shows the obvious trend of environmental aridity, which is of help to the understanding of regional response to global climate change.
Environmental and ecological water requirement of river system : a case study of Haihe-Luanhe river system
to be consumed by the natural water bodies to conserve its environmental and ecological functions. Based on this definition, the methods on calculating the amount of environmental and ecological water requirement are determined in the case study on Haihe-Luanhe
The AA. provide a comparative study of mobility and migration into and out of the buffer zone, through case studies of Ukrainians working in Slovakia, and Slovakians working in Austria. Whereas the Ukrainians are largely confined to the secondary
The aim of this study was to infer process rates from profile form using best-fit criteria, to use these rates to estimate the ages of the profiles, and then to compare these ages with ages derived from stream-incision rates. Therefore field surveys
, location-for-time reasoning, and computer modeling were used to study the evolution of slopes on valley walls of abandoned bedrock meanders on the Eastern Highland Rim.
This study investigates variation in clay mineralogy and its relation to hydrothermal metamorphism, hillslope processes, and topography in the western Cascade Mountains. The study area is the drainage basin of Dorena Lake, a medium-sized watershed
This research was part of aseries of similar studies carried out in the Geographical Research Institute of the Hungarian academy of Sciences aiming at scientific foundation of site selection for large scale deposition of toxic wastes with special
attention to the geographical preconditions. In the course of field work geomorphological features (main landform types, slope categories, relief dissection, etc.) of the Tolnai-Hegyhát region (SW-Hungary) were studies and mapped at a scale of 1:10 000
Study examines why Jefferson County, Indiana voters handed riverboat gambling interests the largest referendum defeat in Indiana. A. disagrees with popular explanations focused on economic and moral agendas and argues that a strong sense of place
and pride in an historic downtown district were instrumental in preventing the boat from locating there. He calls for more study of the sense of place and the role it plays in the formation of interest groups. - (SLD)
