Mass movements in the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada
This paper has two main objectives: - to examine the interaction of the main destabilizing factors that control the types, sizes and distribution of mass movements in the Park; - to evaluate the geomorphic importance of mass movements as slope
Bilan de 10 ans d'observations dans le DinosaurPark, Alberta et évolution des formes de surface pendant la période 1969-1979. Les mesures ont été faites pour connaître le taux d'érosion et l'évolution du façonnement dans un système ouvert de
Holocene geomorphology and stratigraphy of the lower Falcon valley, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada
Un affluent de la rivière Red Deer dans le Parc provincial des Dinosaures, région sud de l'Alberta, dévoile les vestiges d'une séquence d'évènements d'érosion d'une vallée, 3 dépôts alluviaux et 1 dépôt éolien. Ceux-ci reflètent vraisemblablement
Simulation pluviale sur quatre parcelles expérimentales afin de déterminer les facteurs morphogénétiques, le développement et le tracé des lignes d'écoulement superficielles et hypodermiques, dans les bad-lands du Dinosaur Provincial Park (Canada
The estimation of boundary variability for digitized polygon maps of a 0.34 km2 area of badlands in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, shows the effects of positional errors introduced during mapping and digitizing processes.
This paper deals with a landslide on the north side of Little Sandhill Creek (Dinosaur Provincial Park). The slide was studied intensively because it contained several large stratigraphic exposures which provided clear indications of the effects
In this paper, calibrated radiocarbon and other dates of geomorphic events from Dinosaur Provincial Park, southeastern Alberta, and the surrounding plains are compared in order to establish the calendric timing, duration, and sequence
Description de méthodes simples utilisées pour caractériser les propriétés de gonflement et contraction des sols et application à 3 types de terrain : 1 -les badlands de DinosaurPark, Alberta| 2- les sols du Lesotho soumis à un fort ravinement| 3
An alluvial chronology for the One Tree Creek basin, a southern tributary of the Red Deer River in the vicinity of the Dinosaur Provincial Park badlands, is reconstructed using terrace and paleochannel remnants and associated radiocarbon dated bones
Field studies conducted in DinosaurPark badlands, Alberta, Canada, Chinguacousy badlands, Ontario, Canada and Sestino badlands, Tuscany, Italy, have shown that there are 2 dominant clay-rich lithologies : smectite-rich and smectite-poor mudrocks

This green space in Los Angeles is one of the first parks in the USA designed for dogs and their owners. The AA. discuss the local politics and grass-roots involvement of dog owners and the patterns of use by animals and humans. They also give
Several contributions about the discussion concerning landscape parks, which became actual in the Netherlands after the publication of the so called Green Reports by the government. These reports contain a proposal for the creation of landscape
parks in the Netherlands. The discussion is centered around the confronting visions of agricultural and environmental groups about these parks. (AGD).
The tropical national parks of Latin America and the Caribbean : present problems and future potential
Caribbean ; Latin America ; Natural park ; Nature conservation ; Tropical zone
In 1990 Latin America had 168 national parks compared to 48 in 1971. However, 18 parks receive no protection. Synopses of selected parks in Grenada, Virgin Islands, Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador and Venezuela. - (DWG)
The Neighbourhood Park Improvement Plan, executed by the Taipei City Government, is aimed at encouraging community involvement in the planning and design of neighbourhood parks. Park users consider the facility suitability and functional benefits
of improved parks to be better than those of unimproved parks.
