SYNTHESIS STUDIES TO IDENTIFY AND DETERMINE MUTUAL EFFECTS BETWEEN ENVIRONMENT COMPONENTS AND THE GENERAL BIOLOGICAL POPULATION OF THE CONSIDERED RIVER. THE GLOBAL COMPONENTS OF THE ECO-SYSTEM, I.E., WATER, SUBSTRATUM (BED-BANKS-AQUIFER
) AND THE TROPHIC STRUCTURE ARE FUNCTIONALLY UNDISSOCIABLE, WITH THE RESULT THAT A CHANGE IN ANY COMPONENT AFFECTS THE OTHERS. THE GENERAL INVESTIGATION SCHEME IS SUGGESTED FOR THIS TYPE OF STUDY: A) GENERAL GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF THE CATCHMENT AREA| B) STUDY
OF PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WATER QUALITY| C) TYPOLOGICAL STUDY OF STREAMS AND RIVERS, BASED ON MORPHODYNAMIC AND ICHTHYOLOGICAL DATA OR ANALYSIS OF THE BENTHIC INVERTEBRETE POPULATION| D) MORPHO-DYNAMIC AND BIOLOGICAL STUDY OF APPARENTLY MOST STABLE
An experimental study of complex response in river channel adjustment downstream from a reservoir
An experimental study is described which attempts to reveal the complex response process of river channel adjustment downstream from a reservoir. A descriptive model has been established which identifies three adjustment stages.
Channel sediment variability along a river : a case study of the Siret River (Romania)
This study is principally concerned with changes in the form of the longitudinal profile and the grain size variability introduced by the Carpathian tributaries. Channel sediment analyses considered the petrography, granulometry, and morphometry
A climatological study on surface airflow patterns in central Japan
The main propose of this study is to clarify the annual change of airflow patterns and to investigate the relationship between large-scale surface airflow patterns and the thermal effect in Central Japan in relation to synoptic pressure gradients.
A field study on topographical and topsoil effects on runoff generation
In order to assess the influence of topographical factors on runoff yield on the rapidly crusting loamy soils of Central Belgium, a further study of runoff yield was undertaken, using a design allowing the separation of slope and topsoil effects
A method for the extraction and analysis of solutes from rock samples with some comments on the implications for weathering studies : an example from Signy Island, Antarctica
Describes a new method for determining solute content of rock moisture and applies it to weathering studies.-(AJC)
The volume is prepared for the 11th Congress of the INQUA held in Moscow in 1982. It contains litho-, biostratigraphical and absolute chronological studies, papers on loess, wind-blown sand and periglacial phenomena as well as articles
Glacigenic properties of till. Studies in glacial sedimentology from the Allgäu Alps and The Netherlands.
The intention of this study is to give a contribution to the knowledge of sedimentological properties of glacial diamictons, in particular those of subglacial origin. (AIS).
Xuxiake's (1586-1641) contributions are many-sided but the most important is in the study of karsts. He pointed out the significance of fluvial erosion and gravity process in the formation of karst landscape, described in detail morphological forms

Paleoclimate deduced from a multidisciplinary study of a half-million-year-old stalagmite from Rana, northern Norway
This multidisciplinary study of a flowstone sequence from Rana represents the first study of its kind in Scandinavia, and comprises the oldest dated information on terrestrial interglacial flora and climate from the Middle Pleistocene of Norway
A catenary approach to the study of gravel layers and tropical landscape morphodynamics
Results of the study of the relationships between landsurface morphology and surficial geology in the forest-savanna zone of Sierra Leone. Examining the variations in gravel layer petrology within a catenary framework gave insights
into the contemporary morphodynamics of the study areas, particularly the transfer, storage and removal of materials from the valley systems. Palaeoenvironmental indicators were also found that enable the landscape evolution of this region to be more fully understood.
The book covers the theory and methods of measuring plant growth and discusses the factors which control productivity. A comparative survey of the productivity of world vegetation regions is given| this forms the background to a study of human
utilisation of plant productivity in various agricultural and forestry systems. A case study illustrates the principles and methods of vegetation productivity in a British forest. The conclusion places this study in a wider British and world context
and suggests ways in which productivity studies can contribute to a more efficient use of the environment, even helping to solve the world food crisis.

The selection of sites for paleovegetational studies
The judicious selection of sites for paleovegetational and paleoclimatic studies permits paleoecologists to answer specific research questions that go beyond primary descriptions of past vegetation. We present a model that describes the relationship
details of pattern in paleovegetation so long as attention is given to the limitations and problems of these types of sites. Combinations of sites types in a single study most fully exploit the information contained in sediments.
A review of recent geomorphological contributions studying environmental changes in deserts. In particular, it can not be ignored that geomorphologists are able to make valuable inputs to the study and understanding of recent changes in desert
