floodplain sediments will be discussed, and the primary factors influencing the distribution of Cs 137 in the sediment will be examined. The results obtained from a case study of a floodplain reach of the River Stour, Dorset, UK, will be used to illustrate
The AA. argue that, given the complexity of property market process (the disparate nature of market actors and institutions, the constraints imposed by the built environment), simple adaptative adjustment is unlikely to take place. These factors can

a statistical study to analyse the spatial orientation of bedrock joints, modern river valleys and buried channels. An important factor in the geomorphic development has been the mid-continent stress field.
of the main factors controlling piping processes in those conditions was obtained by statistical analysis based on multiple and stepwise regressions. Piping erosion is strongly related to a high sodium absorption ratio (SAR) which favours clay dispersion
Meta-analysis of environmental issues in regional, urban and transport economics
Meta-analysis is concerned with the formal analysis of results and findings of scientific studies. The kinds of policy or scientific study which are suitable for a meta-analysis are considered. Application of traditional statistical meta-analysis
to case studies in the field of environmental economics is potentially more intricate than in many other areas of economics. Meta-analysis is a potentially useful way of supplementing knowledge in a relatively speedy and cost-effective way.

This volume of The Netherlands Geographical Studies concentrates on multi-level analysis. It is the outcome of an NETHUR seminar held in april 1996 in Zeist, The Netherlands. The aim of the 1996 seminar was to get a better undestanding of multi
-level modelling from the perspective of data analysis. - (AGD)
Software for qualitative research : 2. Some thoughts on aiding analysis
Computing ; Data analysis ; Digitization ; Ethnography ; Research
Accounts which portray computer aided qualitative data analysis software as neutral and benign are rejected. Applying computer software to qualitative projects raises a number of important issues that go to the heart of ethnography. The AA. argue
that the adoption of computers marks a useful moment in which to think critically about the means and ends of qualitative analysis.
Nerja cave is a karstic cavity used by humans from Late Paleolithic to post-Chalcolithic times. Remains of molluscan foods in the uppermost Pleistocene and Holocene sediments were studied with cluster analysis and principal components analysis
A. maintains that cultural geography lacks a conceptually rigorous and empirically meaningful way to analyze human landscape creation. He suggests that behavior analysis could fill the void and uses it to understand 19th century landscape change
Methodological considerations in the analysis of residential mobility : a test of duration, state dependence, and associated events

The empirical analysis uses the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and discrete-time logistic regression models to include duration dependence, state dependence, associated events and nonstationarity in models of residential mobility for both renters

This paper is an exploratory analysis of the frequency distribution of dry spells of various lengths and of their spatial variation. The whole of the southern United States was considered, with data for 1950 to 1994 for 154 stations, so that a range
of climatic regimes could be incorporated. This allowed the establishment of tentative explanatory links between the dry-spell regimes and the regional synoptic climatology. Separate analysis for winter and summer were undertaken.
Effects of interpolation errors on the analysis of DEMs

Younger Dryas glaciation in Söderåsen, South Sweden : an analysis of meteorologic and topographic controls
analysis demonstrates that the deeply incised rock canyon represents a pronounced radiation shelter, while the empirical analysis emphasises the importance of strong snow drift from the east during the winter. Together, the two analyses indicate
