Contemporary and post-glacial rates of aeolian deposition in the coast mountains of British Columbia, Canada
This paper presents data on both contemporary and post-glacial rates of aeolian deposition in 3 small catchments that straddle the alpine-subalpine ecotone in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. From process measurement over a single year
, the mean annual regional (allochtonous) rate of aeolian deposition for the catchments is estimated. The average rate of annual deposition over the post-glacial period is calculated from the soil profiles. Many of the soils are cumulic in nature and protect
. It also shows contemporary trends in the development of geography, using results of geographical research in Poland and in the world, estimating the position of contemporary geography in the face of other disciplines. On this basis the article presents
the most important weaknesses of, prospects for and threats to contemporary Polish geography and its place in world geography. In conclusion, the article shows the main directions of research which should be preferred in Polish geography. Investigations
of the subject have been confirmed by an anonymous questionnaire, and were made in the period from May to 2001. - (BJ)

The contemporary retreat of Tasman Glacier, Southern Alps, New Zealand, and the evolution of Tasman proglacial lake since AD 2000
In the Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, the retreat of Tasman Glacier between 2000 and 2008 has occurred in 2 distinct periods : an initial period of relatively slow retreat prior to 2006, followed by a secondary period of rapid retreat between 2006
and 2008. During the period 2000–2006, the controlling process of ice loss at the terminus was iceberg calving resulting from thermal undercutting. In contrast, the retreat between 2006 and 2008 was probably controlled by buoyancy-driven iceberg calving
caused by decreased overburden pressure as a result of supraglacial pond growth. As a result, the surface area of Tasman Lake has increased by 86% over the period 2000–2008, with lake volume increasing by 284% between 1995 and 2008.
