This paper describes the experimental use of correspondence analysis to test the success of the geomorphic approach used. The survey involved the direct mapping of Soil Taxonomy subgroups and phases of subgroups within delineated geomorphic units
of a national geomorphic legend. The operation of correspondence analysis is described and correspondence plots presented.
Spatial analysis and the institutionalization of geography as a social science
Geography and spatial analysis: evolution and outlook II
Australia ; New Zealand ; Quantitative geography ; Research ; Social sciences ; Spatial analysis ; United States ; University
In the 1960s geography in the United States witnessed some dramatic changes that have been referred to as the quantitative revolution and the spatial analysis movement. These changes are interpreted as the main part of an effort to establish
Analysis of riverbank instability due to toe scour and lateral erosion
Technical and software bulletin 1993
This paper provides instruction in the use of the computer spreadsheet to undertake the calculations necessary to apply the Osman-Thorne bank stability analysis for steep, eroding riverbanks. The guide explains how to input the necessary parameters
Verification of a simple gravity technique for separation of particle size fractions suitable for mineral magnetic analysis
Technical and software bulletin 1993
Techniques for the separation of sediment samples into size fractions are reviewed and the use of repeated decantations to provide samples for mineral magnetic analysis is described. Results from a series of trials are presented and compared
A multivariate analysis of the determinants of urban quality of life in the world's largest metropolitan areas
Index ; Large city ; Multivariate analysis ; Quality of life ; Urban life ; Well-being ; World
The urban living standard index of the Population Crisis Committee, based on 10 indicators of urban quality of life for the 98 largest cities of the world, is used here to create three groups of cities. The discriminant analysis technique is applied
Time series analysis using spectral techniques: oscillatory currents
Technical and software bulletin 1993
The use of time domain and frequency domain techniques in the analysis of geomorphological time series is discussed and the techniques of spectral analysis are introduced. An Excel worksheet is used to analyse wave-current data from Slapton Sands
The analysis of turbulence time series: statistical and correlation approaches using the MINITAB package
Technical and software bulletin 1993
The theoretical basis and use of statistical and correlation approaches for the analysis of turbulence time series are described. In particular, the analysis of data from high frequency current meter measurements using MINITAB is presented
Fractal analysis is now a growing field of research and an extensive literature concerned with the fractal nature of landscapes is developing. This paper summarizes fractal and related theories and reviews the last decade's research on the fractal
An analysis of the atmospheric water balance over the southern hemisphere
An analysis of the atmospheric water balance over the Southern Hemisphere is conducted for the time period June 1980 through May 1984 that includes the 1982-1983 El Niño event. Notable spatial and temporal variations are evident in the moisture flux
The AA. describe and analyze the distribution of sectoral employment over regions in Spain from 1985 to 1989, using a combination of shift-share analysis and location elasticities. New tendencies have appeared, which have been maintened
