The most widespread depositional landforms in many of the upland valleys of the British Isles which have undergone glaciation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are so-called solifluction sheets. This paper presents the first dates from
these landforms in the British Isles. The AA. used optical dating on deposits exposed at Linhope Burn in the Cheviot Hills of North East England. The results suggest that the bulk of sediment deposition at this site happened over a period spanning the Younger

The AA. compared the results of 4 independent reconstruction methods – optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, caesium-137 (137Cs) dating, heavy metal analysis, and flood bed interpretation – applied at 3 embanked floodplain sites along
lower Rhine River distributaries in the Netherlands. Intercomparison of the results of the different dating methods revealed the potential errors associated with each method. Using the results the AA. indicate the optimal spatial range of application

The spatio-temporal variability of surface air temperature (SAT) and precipitation in Southwest China (SWC) and their possible causes have been investigated in this paper based on observational data from 1961 to 2010. The results indicate that SAT

Application date as a controlling factor of pesticide transfers to surface water during runoff events
range of application dates, considering 2 pre-emergence herbicides (metolachlor and aclonifen) characterised by 2 different octanol/water partition coefficients. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was applied in the agricultural watershed
of the river Save (south-western France), where wheat, maize, sorghum and sunflower are intensively grown. The pesticide application date was changed within a one-month interval and the pesticide concentration at catchment outlet was simulated from March
to June 2010. By testing the behaviour of the 2 molecules, it was shown that sorption processes were influencing the control of application timing on the transfer to surface water. At last, the study discusses the potential implications of the sensitivity

and the climate data collected from 1990 to 2010. For the extracted length of growing season and the observed growth period, notable correlations were found in almost same regions. However, there was no obvious correlation between the end-of-growth date
and the first frost date in the study area. The results indicated that the crop growth periods were shortened because of the elevated temperature; in contrast, the extended growth period usually meant a crop transformation from early- or middle-maturing

Widespread, intense rainfall over the Upper Rio Chagres watershed in central Panama during December 2010 triggered numerous landslides that introduced large numbers of trees to the river network. The AA. used low-elevation video photography to tally
about wood density, carbon content, and aboveground biomass, to develop a first-order estimate of carbon export in the form of wood from the Upper Chagres following the 2010 storms. The findings suggest that duration of flood flow above a threshold
