  • In this paper, the AA. present a descriptive summary of tumuli from 3 geographically distinct volcanic fields dominated by pahoehoe lava fields. These 3 studied fields are geographically distinct, however the composition of the magma
  • and the volcanic settings as volcanic cone fields associated with extensive lava fields are common features among these fields. The young age and the semi-arid to arid climate provided excellent exposures to study lava surface features of the studied sites

  • Brittle tectonics of the Thingvellir and Hengill volcanic systems, Southwest Iceland : field studies and numerical modelling
  • This paper focuses on field studies and numerical models of fracture development in the area of the Hengill Central Volcano and its northern fissure swarm containing the Thingvellir Graben, in Southwest Iceland. Apart from additional field data

  • Cluster analysis on summer precipitation field over Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 1961 to 2004
  • divided into 3 precipitation pattern fields : the Southeast Plateau Pattern Field, the Northeast Plateau Pattern Field and the Three Rivers's Headstream Regions Pattern Field. Discussion and comparison of these pattern fields.

  • The aim of this study was to assess the extent and causes of erosion and terrace failure on abandonned fields and to discuss options for mitigation. The study was carried out in the Carcavo basin, a semi-arid catchment in southeast Spain
  • . At catchment scale all abandonned fields were surveyed and characteristics of each field were described. Additionally the AA. surveyed abandonned and cultivated terraces and used statistical analyses to determine the factors that influence terrace failure
  • . At field scale they constructed a detailed digital elevation model (DEM) for an abandoned terrace field in order to calculate sediment losses since time of abandonment. The results revealed that more than half the abandoned fields had moderate to severe
  • erosion and the statistical analysis showed that these fields had significantly steeper slopes, were terraced and had cereals as previous land use. Factors that increase the risk of terrace failure were land abandonment, steeper terrace slope, loam texture

  • Problem-based interdisciplinary field-based courses: reflections from southern African experiences
  • This paper reports upon seven field-based problem-oriented, interdisciplinary, university courses held within southern Africa concerning natural resource management and sustainable land use. The long-term commitment to the development

  • Toponyms are that particular layer in landscape which reflects the link between physical space and human perception, understanding and interpretation of this space. Experts from numerous fields are engaged in researching toponyms. Nevertheless
  • , the relation between toponyms and the spaces they describe still remains relatively unresearched. Among all the toponyms, field names are those that describe (cultural) landscape in most detail. They have evolved as a kind of side product of physical
  • rearrangement of land for agricultural production purposes. The paper analyses field names in the selected area to establish the relation between field names and physical spaces they describe, and whether and in what way they can be used in planning

  • Assessment of detachment and sediment transport capacity of runoff by field experiments on a silt loam soil
  • The aim of this study is to examine the detachment and transport capacity of runoff using rainfall simulations and overland flow experiments on small field plots. A simple regression equation was derived to estimate transport capacity (Tc) for both
  • bare and covered soil. Although Tc can be assessed more easily in laboratory experiments, the applicability of the results to field conditions remains questionable. The detachment by runoff constitutes only part of the transported sediment. Interrill

  • A field experiment on the development of sedimentary structures in a gravel-bed river
  • This paper aims to improve the understanding of the dynamics of sedimentary structures at the reach scale using a field approach. The AA. investigated the dynamics of sedimentary structures in three 15 m long reaches of a small gravel-bed river
