will have the same causal factors as the landslides initiated in the past. Significant model results were obtained, with pre-landslide hillslope gradient and 3 different clayey lithologies being important predictor variables. Receiver Operating
Holocene and modern travertine formed in spring-fed Havasu Creek of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, was studied to determine the factors governing its oxygen-isotope composition. Analysis of substrate-grown travertine indicates that calculated calcite
to the statistic evaluations (e.g. multi-diverse factor and cluster analysis) socio-demographic features are used. Beside that lifestyleness is applied as an interdisciplinary survey method. - (IfL)
argue for using functional labour market regions. The available definitions of functional units are based mostly on data from 1980s and 1990s. To that extent a new delineation is required. The AA. use a factoranalysis with an oblique rotation
This paper discusses the factors initiating landslides and a large-scale debris flow in the Chonho area of Taipei County, which resulted from heavy rainfall during Typhoon Xangsane in November 2000. The morphology and triggering mechanism
of the landslides and the debris flow were investigated using aerial photographs taken over the past 20 years, field measurement of channel cross-sections, laboratory assessment of slope material properties, and slope stability analysis. The results indicate
This paper deals with the use of landslide records in the analysis of landscape sensitivity, with particular reference to climate change as a forcing process. The dating of past landslide events is useful to reconstruct the evolution of a slope
-system at a broad temporal scale and to recognize the different formative events it has experienced. The goal is to recognize the temporal changes through environmental factors which condition landsliding events such as climate, seismic activity

geographical regions were divided to identify the key factors regulating surface SOM concentration in different geographical regions. Correlation analyses indicates that surface SOM concentration is in general negatively correlated with annual mean temperature
that valley-width morphometry and style of hillslope delivery are the primary factors controlling the efficiency of sediment transport along mountain rivers in the central Appalachachians of USA. In the Italian Alps, Comiti et al. find that wood inputs result
mainly from slope instabilities adjacent to the channels. Using GIS and DEM analysis, Lin, Hayakawa and Oguchi study the knickzones. Watterson and Jones describe interactions among floods, debris flows, and roads in western Oregon. Beechie et al. quantify

The AA. focus on the spatial cluster characteristics of forest tree mortality in the state of Georgia by using permanent plot data from the 1989 and 1997 FIA inventories, spatial scan statistic and semivariogram analysis methods, and geographic
Integrated neotectonic and morphometric analysis of Northern Sicily
of the south Tyrrhenian border dynamics. Integrated methodologies of analysis have been utilised to evaluate the neotectonic setting of the northern sector of the island. - (NF)

As a basic form of pattern analysis, the parameters of dune spacing, defect density, crest orientation and crest length are measured from remote images and treated statistically for dunes at White Sands in New Mexico, the Algodones in California
Hydroclimatic analysis of a carbonate island pond through the development of a hydrologic landscape unit model
model. For this case study, a linear regression model was developed to empirically assess the HLU. This analysis separates tidal and climatic impacts on water levels of the pond and indicates that astronomical tides dominate, explaining 65
Pollen analysis of 23 surface samples in the east of Qaidam Basin reveals the characteristics of pollen assemblages and their relationships with vegetation and climate. Depending on the aridity, the vegetation communities are divided into 4 groups
Land use change and land cover assessment in grazing reserves in Northwest Nigeria : a geographical analysis based on remote sensing and geographic information

Foraminiferal Biostratigraphic and Paleobathymetric constraints in Geohistory analysis : the example of the Epiligurian succession of the Secchia Valley (Northen Apennines, Mid Eocene-Late Eocene)
A geohistory analysis has been proposed for the Mid Eocene-Late Miocene Epiligurian succession cropping out in Enza, Secchia and Reno valleys (Northern Apennines) in order to quantify the evolution of the studied area in terms of both vertical
