Sea floor engineering geomorphology : recent achievements and future directions
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
This paper reviews some of the methods for assessing sea floor geomorphology for engineering sites and considers the capabilities of some of the recently developed investigation technology. Some of the main sea floor processes which can affect
engineering decisions are described, and important gaps in knowledge identified as tasks for the future. Case studies of specific investigations for particular engineering sites are presented.
Engines of Growth beyond Metropolitan Areas - Success Factors and Recommendations for Action to Support Development
The article deals with the development (viewed from a structure-analysis perspective), the determinants and factors behind the success of regional growth engines, the factors responsible for the success of growth engines beyond metropolitan areas

Fluvial geomorphology and river engineering : future roles utilizing a fluvial hydrosystems framework
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
Rather than looking back and examining the linkage between geomorphology and engineering over the last few decades, this paper seeks to identify how fluvial geomorphologists can further their contribution to the field engineering and educate
engineers about the value of geomorphology. Areas in which geomorphologists will increasingly be able to complement engineers in river management include risk and environmental impact assessment, floodplain planning, river audits, determination of instream
Intraurban location effects on firm performance : some evidence from the Leeds engineering sector
A very disaggregated approach is adopted, with a focus on firms in a single industry in a single city. With use of both ratio and regression analysis it is found that, on average, engineering firms located in the inner Leeds area have a lower level
Mérnokgeomorfologiai térkép jelkulcsanak magyarazoja. in Mernokgeomorfologiai térképezés.. (Explanatory notes to the key of engineering geomorphological maps)
The origin, the environment of formation and the orographic, morphographic and hypsometric features of landforms appearing on engineering geomorphological maps are treated. The definitions serve to help users understand all the information contained
The financial performance of the Leeds engineering sector
Using ratio analysis the financial performance of a sample of independant single-plant engineering firms in Leeds is examined with regard to structural and locational differences in establishments. The study illustrates the importance of using
different measures of performance since this affects the magnitude and significance of the results. Financial support is necessary to sustain engineering in the inner city in the long run.

A review of recent frozen soil engineering in permafrost regions along Qinghai-Tibet Highway, China
The nature of frozen soil research along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway between 1993 and 2000 is systematically reviewed. Recent studies involve the engineering geology of frozen soil, the study of ground temperatures under the roadbed and the influence
of the frozen soil environment, the engineering classification of frozen soils, and the use of geographical information systems. This research will materially assist in the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

Engineering geomorphology at the cutting edge of land disturbance : erosion and sediment control on construction sites
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
Construction site management, traditionally dominated by professional engineers, provides an important opportunity for engineers and geomorphologists to work together in minimizing the environmental impacts of land disturbance. In this paper
Principles of engineering geomorphology for managing channel erosion and bedload transport, example from French rivers
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
to ecology, to resources, and to human interests. In recent years, increased public and management awareness of these problems has given way to new conceptions and objectives in the field of river engineering, among which the goal of establishing sustainable
long-term management strategies is of the highest importance. The principles of engineering geomorphology are developed here.
Adjustment and recovery of unstable alluvial channels: identification and approaches for engineering management
This paper presents interdisciplinary techniques that can be used to identify the type and cause(s) of channel instability, determine past, present and future trends of channel adjustment, and assess the applicability of various engineering
